Understanding the procedure
During cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, the natural function of the heart and lungs is temporarily supported by an extracorporeal circuit.
Within this circuit:
- blood is oxygenated
- carbon dioxide is removed
- circulation is maintained
- and blood volume is managed
Each step must function reliably to maintain stable conditions throughout the procedure.
Our approach
Built on experience and continuity
Following the expansion of its cardiopulmonary business, NIPRO combines decades of experience with established product platforms and organized global distribution.
The focus is on:
- consistent performance in clinical use
- straightforward handling in the operating room
- and dependable availability across regions
This allows NIPRO to support healthcare professionals with solutions that integrate into existing clinical workflows.
Supporting the clinical workflow
Procedures involving extracorporeal circulation require close coordination between surgeons, perfusionists, and the supporting technology.
Perfusionists play a central role in managing the extracorporeal circuit — monitoring flow, pressure, and gas exchange in real time, and responding to changes throughout the procedure.
Products must therefore:
- perform predictably under varying flow and pressure conditions
- be intuitive to prepare and operate
- and support clear monitoring throughout the procedure
From oxygenation to intraoperative fluid management, each component contributes to maintaining controlled operating conditions.
Our offering
A focused cardiopulmonary portfolio
NIPRO offers a range of cardiopulmonary products including:
- Oxygenators supporting gas exchange
- Hemoconcentrators supporting intraoperative fluid management
- Reservoirs and related components supporting circulation control
These products are designed to function together within the extracorporeal circuit, supporting procedures across adult and neonatal applications.
Why This Matters
Because reliability supports focus
In procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, perfusionists and surgical teams operate in highly controlled and time-sensitive environments.
Reliable products help ensure that:
- conditions remain stable
- workflows remain uninterrupted
- and attention can remain on the patient
Supporting critical care, with consistency
Cardiac procedures involving extracorporeal circulation depend on coordination, control, and reliability.At NIPRO, the focus is on providing products that perform consistently and integrate seamlessly into clinical practice.
A lifeline you can trust.
