Why is there more flow with a smart canula ® as compared to a standard cannula or a percutaneous canula?
There are three main factors that contribute to the superior performance of the smart canula ®: a) the self-expanding mechanism allows for a larger smart canula ® diameter wherever the vessel lumen is wide b) the wall thickness of the smart canula ® is far less than in any other cannula allowing for superior effective luminal width c) the uncovered “open wall” design of the smart canula ® allows for direct drainage of the blood coming from collaterals.
