Performance of the CARDIOGARD Cannula

"CardioGard Cannula is a specially designed arterial (aortic) cannula for use in cardiac surgery for the purpose of removal of gaseous and solid embolic material emanating during the CPB procedure.~The CardioGard cannula is a double lumen cannula where the primary lumen provides blood from the heart-lung machine similar to ordinary cannulas and the secondary lumen performs suction of blood and embolic matter away from the aortic arch and back to the cardiopulmonary bypass machine for filtration."
