• Medtronic Select 3D Arterial Cannulae. Vented, model 78622 (22 Fr.). Non-Vented Cannulae, model 78722 (22 Fr.). Sterilized using Ethylene Oxide. Non-pyrogenic. The Cannula consists of a curved, angled or beveled tip with or without flange that is permanently attached to a molded, clear, flexible PVC tapered body or wirebound PVC body. The cannula body features a tip orientation line to indicate direction of the cannula tip during cannulation. The proximal end of the cannula includes a connection site or a molded 0.95 cm (3/8 in) barbed connector with or without a molded plastic vent plug or peel cap. The vent plug or peel cap allows air to be vented from the cannula before connection to the perfusion line.
