Medtronic introduces 2nd generation Bio-Medicus(r) Cannula with improved tip transition to aid in insertion and additional sideholes for improved flow. Positioning the tip of the cannula well into the SVX optimizes drainage of the entire venous circulation by accessing the SVC, atrium and IVC. The extended length introducer with new, smoother transition zone, promotes ease of percutaneous femoral vein cannulation and advancement through tortuous venous anatomy.
