A coronary sinus cannula is a sterile, tube-like medical instrument used during heart surgeries to deliver fluids directly into the coronary sinus. These devices facilitate retrograde cardioplegia or perfusion while a patient is on cardiopulmonary bypass, helping to protect the heart muscle during complex procedures.
These devices are designed for single-use only and are typically supplied with a removable stylet or trocar to assist with surgical placement. Some versions feature an integrated low-pressure balloon, which can be used to clear air from the coronary vessels if an embolism occurs.
