About This Opportunity

Translated

This tender is for the acquisition of aortic and venous wire mesh cannulas. These are specialized medical devices used during cardiovascular surgical procedures, particularly cardiac surgery. Aortic and venous cannulas are inserted into the major blood vessels (aorta and vena cava) to divert blood flow, allowing the surgeon to operate on the heart or great vessels, often in conjunction with a heart-lung bypass machine. The 'wire mesh' aspect suggests a specific design or material construction that may offer advantages in terms of flexibility, flow dynamics, or tissue compatibility. The procurement aims to ensure a supply of high-quality, reliable cannulas that meet stringent medical standards for patient safety and surgical effectiveness. The tender will likely specify the required sizes, types (arterial/venous), material specifications, and performance characteristics. Potential bidders are expected to be manufacturers or authorized distributors of certified medical devices. This acquisition is critical for supporting complex cardiac surgical interventions and ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

This is a supplies contract in the health and medical services, construction and civil works and architecture and engineering sectors, with a focus on Hospitals and Medical Equipment. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 11,090.

Description

Original language: Portuguese

This tender, originating from Portugal and accessible via the national public procurement portal, BASE, concerns the acquisition of aortic and venous cannulas. The procurement seeks to secure a supply of specialized medical devices essential for cardiovascular surgical procedures, specifically those involving cardiopulmonary bypass. Aortic and venous cannulas are critical components used to establish circulatory support and facilitate blood management during open-heart surgery, enabling surgeons to operate on a still, bloodless heart.

The contracting authority, though not explicitly named in this summary, will be a Portuguese public healthcare institution or hospital. Typical requirements for such a tender would include detailed specifications regarding the materials used in the cannulas, ensuring biocompatibility and minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. Manufacturers will likely need to demonstrate compliance with relevant European medical device regulations (e.g., MDR) and provide certifications. Key aspects of the cannulas expected to be detailed in the full tender documentation include their design features, such as wire reinforcement for structural integrity, tip configuration for optimal blood flow and reduced tissue trauma, and available sizes to accommodate diverse patient anatomies. Furthermore, tenderers will be expected to outline their manufacturing processes, quality control measures, and supply chain capabilities to ensure consistent availability and timely delivery of these vital medical supplies. Packaging, sterilization methods, and shelf-life will also be important considerations.
