The Bailey Lacrimal Cannula 23G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled fluid delivery during lacrimal and related eye procedures. Its 23 gauge specification provides a fine working profile suited to delicate ophthalmic applications where precise irrigation or fluid administration is required.
Designed for professional ophthalmic use, the Bailey Lacrimal Cannula can be used with a compatible syringe, tubing, or irrigation system when the connection is appropriate. The cannula provides a controlled pathway for fluid delivery while allowing the clinician to maintain careful handling during procedures involving the lacrimal drainage system.
The 23G configuration offers a fine diameter suitable for specialized ophthalmic work. Its compact profile makes it a practical component for lacrimal and ophthalmic instrument sets. The exact clinical application should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the procedure, patient requirements, and established clinical protocols.
The Bailey pattern identifies the instrument configuration and is useful when selecting compatible lacrimal instruments for a specialized ophthalmic set. Users should confirm the specific dimensions, tip configuration, and connection requirements of the supplied instrument before clinical use, particularly when matching the cannula with other equipment.
For reusable configurations, the cannula should be carefully inspected before and after use. The internal lumen should remain free of obstruction, and the instrument should be checked for bending, deformation, surface damage, or other abnormalities. Proper cleaning is particularly important for cannulated ophthalmic instruments because retained material within the lumen can affect subsequent performance.
Construction should be verified according to the product specification supplied. Ophthalmic cannulas are commonly manufactured from durable surgical-grade instrument materials intended for professional healthcare environments. Where the instrument is reusable, it should be cleaned, disinfected, sterilized, and stored according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved reprocessing protocol.
If supplied as a single-use device, it should be handled and disposed of according to the product labeling and applicable healthcare facility procedures. Sterile handling should be maintained where required for the intended application.
The Bailey Lacrimal Cannula 23G is a useful addition to specialized ophthalmic, lacrimal, and microsurgical instrument sets. Its fine 23G profile supports controlled fluid delivery and precise instrument handling in professional ophthalmic environments.
