Will using the KanguruWeb® system impact the patients 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 the device the instinct is too stick too low, resulting in cannulating the superficial femoral which is less “forgiving” than the common femoral artery. Some physicians report that they can use a shorter sheath when using the KanguruWeb®.
