The Vortex AngioVac® suction cannula is for use by trained physicians only, and is intended for use as a venous drainage cannula during extracorporeal bypass.
The cannula has a balloon actuated, expandable, funnel-shaped distal tip to facilitate flow, and to facilitate en bloc removal of undesirable intravascular material during the performance of extracorporeal circulation.
The AngioVac Cannula with its unique balloon-actuated, expandable, funnel-shaped tip can be coupled with the AngioVac Circuit, and FDA cleared filters, pumps and reinfusion cannulae to provide all of the components necessary to pump and filter the blood during extracorporeal bypass.
The AngioVac Cannula facilitates en bloc removal of undesirable intravascular material such as clot, thrombus tumor, myxoma and vegetation while maintaining flow during extracorporeal circulation.
The AngioVac® Cannula and Circuit
Two elements are at the core of AngioVac —the AngioVac Cannula and the AngioVac Circuit. Together the cutting-edge Vortex products, combined with other manufacturer’s filters, pumps and reinfusion cannulae provide effective drainage, filtration and reinfusion of blood during the performance of extracorporeal circulation.
The AngioVac Cannula is indicated for venous drainage during extracorporeal bypass. The Cannula has a balloon-actuated, expandable, funnel-shaped distal tip to facilitate flow as well as the removal of undesirable intravascular material during the performance of extracorporeal circulation.
- Indicated for venous drainage during extracorporeal bypass for up to 6 hours
- A wire reinforced extruded body with a balloon-actuated, expandable, funnel-shaped distal tip is activated following placement in an appropriate position within the cardiovascular system
- Facilitates en bloc removal of undesirable intravascular material during the performance of extracorporeal circulation
The AngioVac Cannula when coupled with other manufacturer’s filters, pumps, and reinfusion cannulae, can be used in an extracorporeal circuit for short-term durations of use, i.e., 6 hours or less.
