Power to Recover
High-Level Percutaneous Support
Rest and Recover
A high level of percutaneous support — with 80% left ventricular unloading1 — allows the LV to rest and recover.
High Flow and Power
A unique left atrium-to-femoral artery transseptal cannula position provides up to 5 LPM flow and almost a full watt of cardiac power output.
Time to Decide
After initial rescue with the TandemLife kit, the ProtekSolo transseptal cannula can be added later for LV unloading in less time and cost.
