ProPlege
peripheral retrograde
cardioplegia device
Consistent delivery.
Global protection*.
Adding ProPlege retrograde cardioplegia to antegrade delivery offers global myocardial protection without disruption, expanding minimally invasive cardiac surgery to more patients.
* In conjunction with antegrade cardioplegia
Benefits of the ProPlege device
Global protection*,
fewer complications
Paired with antegrade cardioplegia, ProPlege can
- More fully protect the heart1-4
- Help reduce risks of complications, such as cardiac and neurological events1-4
- Help patients come off bypass effectively for optimal hemodynamic return5,6
* In conjunction with antegrade cardioplegia
Maintain your
momentum
Streamline your procedures with reliable, uninterrupted performance
- Avoid redose disruption6
- Eliminate retractor repositioning1
- Avoid complex, inconsistent workarounds for each patient6,7
Designed for
minimally-invasive surgery
Enables minimally invasive on-pump cardiac procedures
- For more patients in a safer and more reliable manner than direct cannulation7,8
- Delivers retrograde cardioplegia through a peripheral approach outside the operating window
- With experience, anesthesiologists can reduce insertion time and optimize positioning6-10
Device description & specifications
The ProPlege peripheral retrograde cardioplegia device (ProPlege device) is a 9 Fr (3.1 mm), 59 cm long, triple-lumen, articulating device with an elastomeric balloon near its tip for occluding the coronary sinus for retrograde perfusion of the coronary circulation.
The ProPlege device is indicated for:
- occlusion of the coronary sinus
- delivery of retrograde cardioplegia solution
- monitoring of coronary sinus pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass
Models & specifications
