The Need of Slanted Side Holes for Venous Cannulae

Figure 6

Effect of slanted side angle. (a) A typical model, 12H-45°, is presented to show the flow path distribution from the side holes. Inset is the zoomed feature near side holes. (b–d) PD reduces as the side hole angle increases, resulting in higher flow rate.
