A cardioplegia cannula is a sterile, single-use device used during cardiac surgery to deliver cardioprotective solutions directly to the heart. It temporarily stops the heart’s beating to allow precise surgical work while preserving tissue health, often during bypass procedures.
These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical instruments, often classified based on their surgical risk and intended use. They’re commonly supplied sterile, with connectors for infusion and aspiration, and may include features like suture flanges or stylet compatibility for precise placement.
