A cardiac assist device includes a cannula that terminates in a flexible tip. The tip is generally Y-shaped and includes a proximal end that extends from the end of the cannula, and a bifurcated distal end opposed to the proximal end. The bifurcated distal end includes a first portion detached from a second portion, and the tip further includes a pair of through channels extending from the proximal end to the bifurcated distal end. The tip is configured so that one channel of the pair of channels extends through the first portion, and the other channel of the pair of channels extends through the second portion.
