Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein is a bi-directional perfusion cannula (10) comprising an elongate tube (12) for insertion into an artery, the elongate tube (12) comprising a first aperture (14) at a distal end of the elongate tube which is forward during insertion, the first aperture being configured so that blood can flow into the artery (21) in the direction of insertion;an elbow (16) preformed in the elongate tube; and a second aperture (18), the second aperture being formed in or slightly rearward of the elbow and configured for supplying blood into the artery in a second direction which is generally opposite to the insertion direction, wherein the elbow is preformed in the elongate tube such that in a relaxed state prior to insertion the cannula has an elbow bend formed in it.
