The NovaPort® One Vascular Access cannula with its associated Introducer Kit is a Novalung coated percutaneous cannula intended to be used to cannulate blood vessels in patients requiring extracorporeal support such as cardiopulmonary bypass. The application of NovaPort® One cannula is limited to < 6 hours.

The NovaPort® One Vascular Access cannula with Novalung coating are a wire reinforced, thin walled femoral cannula made of polyurethane. A cone without wire reinforcement allows clamping and serves as transition to a connector. The beveled tip is not a separate piece and is part of the whole cannula body. The NovaPort® one cannulas are inserted percutaneously into vessels. Insertion depth marks aid in positioning the cannula. They have a beveled tip that is made as part of the PVC body. The Cannula is intended to be used to cannulate vessels, perfuse vessels or organs and/or connect with accessory extracorporeal equipment. The cannula introducer is intended to facilitate proper insertion and placement of the appropriate sized cannula within the vessel for cardiopulmonary bypass. All surfaces of the NovaPort® One which come into contact with blood are protected with the Novalung Coating. This coating is a bioactive, stable, biocompatible and non-thrombogenic surface. This coating consists of high molecular weight heparin from pig mucosa bound covalently and ionically to immobilized polypeptides. NovaPort® one cannula is available in insertion lengths of 90 mm and with outer diameters of 13 F, 17 F, 19 F and 21 F. All are supplied sterile with Novalung coated, non-pyrogenic, and are single use.
