Arterial and Venous Cannulae

Clinical Application

Arterial and venous cannulae are used during cardiopulmonary bypass to establish extracorporeal circulation.

Venous cannulae drain deoxygenated blood from the patient into the bypass circuit while arterial cannulae return oxygenated blood to the arterial system.

These devices are used in cardiac surgery procedures where controlled circulation and stable flow are required throughout bypass.

They support:

• Establishment of extracorporeal circulation
• Controlled venous drainage
• Stable arterial blood return
• Reliable connection to perfusion circuits

Product Scope

Arterial and venous cannulae are supplied as single use disposable devices for use in cardiac surgery.

They are designed for integration with standard cardiopulmonary bypass systems and placement in appropriate arterial and venous sites.

Product configurations are defined in the governing brochure.

Arterial Cannulae

Arterial cannulae are used to return oxygenated blood from the bypass circuit to the arterial circulation.

They are designed to support stable flow and secure connection to perfusion tubing during bypass.

Venous Cannulae

Venous cannulae are used to drain blood from the venous system into the bypass circuit.

They are designed to support effective venous return and stable positioning during surgical procedures.

Design and Manufacturing

ALSPL arterial and venous cannulae are designed with emphasis on flow stability placement control and handling reliability.

Key considerations include:

• Cannula geometry to support controlled flow
• Secure connector interfaces for perfusion systems
• Structural integrity during placement and use
• Consistent handling characteristics

Devices are assembled under controlled conditions with verification prior to release.

Product Configuration

Catalogue configurations include defined cannula sizes and designs aligned to cardiac surgery requirements.

All configurations are defined in the governing brochure.

Custom Configurations

Customisation is available under defined manufacturing programs and includes:

• Alternative cannula sizes
• Custom connector configurations
• OEM branded supply

All custom configurations follow established change control processes.
