The Terumo surgical cannula line, which is claimed to be one of the largest cardiac surgery cannula lines worldwide, includes 200 product stock keeping units (SKUs).
The company noted the Soft-Flow arterial cannula is the world’s first dispersion tip aortic cannula designed for clinical users.
MC3 developed a 60,000ft² manufacturing facility on its ten acre campus in Dexter, Michigan, to support production of Soft-Flow arterial cannula, which is expected during the first half of next year.
The acquisition is part of the company’s aim to transform into a global cardiopulmonary medical device manufacturer.
