Smartcanula LLC is the leading manufacturer for advanced interfaces between the
circulatory system and cardio-pulmonary bypass, the key technology for open
heart surgery. As a matter of fact, remote cannulation with traditional cannula
designs severely limits the blood flow and major pressure drops are common on
both, the arterial and the venous side. The innovative smart cannulation
principle, which is based on collapsed cannula insertion and expansion within
the target vessels, allows for circumvention of such limitations, and full pump
flow can usually be reached with gravity drainage alone. Hence, centrifugal
pumps, vacuum or other artifices can be avoided. As a result the pump set-up
for extracorporeal circulation can be simplified including all, hardware,
software, and operator interventions.
