Dual-lumen Cannula

A dual-lumen cannula is a specialized medical tube used in certain treatments, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), to support lung or heart function. It has two channels within one tube, allowing blood to be drawn from the body and returned after oxygenation. This design enables both processes through a single insertion site, reducing the number of access points and potential complications. The dual-lumen cannula is typically inserted into large veins, providing a minimally invasive way to support patients with severe respiratory or cardiac issues.
