Smartcanula LLC is the leading manufacturer for advanced interfaces between the circulatory system and cardio-pulmonary bypass, a key technology for open heart surgery.

Remote cannulation with traditional cannula designs severely limits the blood flow and major pressure drops are common on both the arterial and the venous side. The innovative Smartcanula, which is based on the insertion of a collapsed cannula which expands to its full size only when positioned in the target vessel, allows such limitations to be overcome Full pump flow can usually be reached with gravity drainage alone. Hence, centrifugal pumps, vacuum or other artifices can be avoided. As a result the pump set-up for extracorporeal circulation can be simplified and made intrinsically safer with respect to hardware, software, and operator interventions.
