[A holder for right-angled metal cannula (Pacifico's venous cannula) for direct superior vena caval cannulation].
In pediatric open heart surgery, a right-angled metal cannula (Pacifico's venous cannula) for direct superior vena caval cannulation is frequently used. But it is often difficult to be inserted into superior vena cava due to "right-angled" shape especially in small babies. We developed a new holder which can make straight line from the metal tip to flexible plastic end of the cannula. It is easy and safe even in cases of small babies.
