The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Angled 30G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical cannula designed for controlled fluid delivery during compatible anterior chamber procedures. Its McIntyre pattern, fine 30-gauge profile, and angled configuration provide a practical design for ophthalmic applications requiring precise instrument positioning and careful fluid management.
The 30G specification identifies the cannula as a fine-profile instrument, making it suitable for delicate ophthalmic microsurgical setups where a small-gauge cannula is required. The angled design provides positioning flexibility compared with a straight configuration and can help accommodate the geometry of the intended surgical field.
This anterior chamber cannula is intended for use with compatible fluid-delivery equipment, such as an appropriate syringe, tubing, or irrigation system. The exact connection configuration should be verified before use because fittings and compatibility can vary between manufacturers and product versions. The cannula should only be used for applications supported by the applicable product labeling and clinical protocol.
The McIntyre pattern provides a useful identification feature when organizing ophthalmic instruments or selecting components for specialized microsurgical sets. Its fine construction allows it to be handled alongside other delicate ophthalmic instruments while maintaining a compact working profile.
For reliable performance, the cannula’s working end and internal fluid pathway should be protected from bending, deformation, contamination, and blockage. Before use, trained medical professionals should inspect the instrument for visible damage and confirm that the lumen is unobstructed. Associated irrigation or fluid-delivery components should also be checked for appropriate compatibility and secure connections.
The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Angled 30G is suitable for ophthalmic surgical inventories, eye-care facilities, and specialized microsurgical instrument sets requiring a fine-gauge angled anterior chamber cannula. The gauge and configuration provide useful specifications for selecting the appropriate instrument for a compatible application.
Manufactured from appropriate surgical-grade instrument material, the cannula is designed for dependable handling and durability when properly maintained. Exact material composition, length, tip geometry, and connection specifications may vary according to the manufacturer and should be confirmed from the applicable product documentation.
Depending on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling, this cannula may be supplied as a reusable or single-use instrument. Reusable versions should be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized according to validated manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol.
The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Angled 30G provides a fine, angled option for controlled fluid delivery in compatible ophthalmic microsurgical applications.
