A femoral cardiopulmonary bypass cannula is a sterile, rigid or semi-rigid tube inserted into the femoral artery or vein during heart-lung bypass surgery. It temporarily diverts blood from the body to an external pump system, allowing surgeons to operate on the heart without stopping its natural flow.
These devices are typically single-use, regulated as medical instruments, and supplied sterile for surgical use. Classification and supply rules vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally designed for one-time use in controlled clinical settings.
