Will the KanguruWeb™ impact the patient’s anatomy?
Using the KanguruWeb™ renders the patient’s anatomy more appropriate. When the pannus is firmly retracted, it is easier to visualize and stick the common femoral artery. Often, without using this device, the instinct is to stick too low, resulting in cannulating the superficial femoral artery which is less “forgiving” than the common femoral artery. Some physicians report that they can use a shorter sheath when using the KanguruWeb™.
