The McIntyre Cystotome Angled 45° 23G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled capsule-related applications. Featuring a 23G fine-gauge profile and a 45° angled configuration, this cystotome provides a specialized working geometry for ophthalmic professionals who require controlled positioning during delicate microsurgical procedures.
The 45° angle provides positioning flexibility compared with a straight working configuration, allowing the instrument to approach the intended working area from an angled orientation. This can support controlled handling in microsurgical environments where instrument orientation and access are important. The 23G specification provides a fine instrument profile suitable for delicate ophthalmic applications.
The McIntyre pattern is commonly associated with specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrumentation. This cystotome is designed for compatible capsule-related applications, including use in surgical environments where controlled capsule manipulation or opening is required. Exact tip shape, working-end dimensions, shaft length, and handle configuration are not specified in the product title and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s specifications when precise compatibility is needed.
The instrument is manufactured from surgical-grade instrument material suitable for professional ophthalmic use. Its angled working configuration is designed to provide controlled handling while maintaining a compact microsurgical profile. The working end should be carefully inspected before use to verify that the tip remains properly formed and free from visible damage, deformation, or contamination.
The McIntyre Cystotome can be incorporated into ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets where a 23G, 45° angled cystotome is required. It should be used only by appropriately trained ophthalmic professionals and according to established clinical protocols and the manufacturer’s intended-use instructions.
For reusable configurations, proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization are essential. The instrument should be processed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. Particular care should be taken with the angled working end during handling and cleaning to preserve its intended geometry. If the specific product is labeled for single use, it should not be reprocessed or reused.
With its 23G fine profile and 45° angled configuration, the McIntyre Cystotome offers a practical solution for ophthalmic surgical environments requiring specialized capsule-related instrumentation. Its defined angle and fine working profile support controlled microsurgical handling where precision and instrument orientation are important.
