Edwards Lifesciences Duraflo coated Femoral Cannula. Product Usage: The cannulae are intended for use in situations which require rapid femoral venous and arterial access for short-term (< 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass. Vessel access (venous or arterial) is left to the discretion of the physician. Extracorporeal circuit components with a Duraflo coating are intended for use in cardiopulmonary surgery when a heparin-coated blood path is desired. The femoral arterial cannulae are wire-reinforced, thin-wall cannulae.
