The Lacrimal Cannula 25mm 23G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled fluid delivery during lacrimal and related eye procedures. With a 23 gauge specification and 25mm length, this cannula provides a fine working profile suitable for professional ophthalmic applications where controlled irrigation or fluid administration is required.
The 23G specification identifies the cannula’s fine diameter and provides a practical profile for delicate ophthalmic work. The 25mm length offers a defined working dimension for controlled positioning according to the requirements of the procedure and the clinician’s established technique. The exact clinical application should be determined by the qualified healthcare professional based on the specific procedure and instrument configuration.
Lacrimal cannulas may be used for irrigation or controlled fluid delivery involving the lacrimal drainage system. This instrument can be connected to an appropriate syringe, tubing, or irrigation system when the connection is compatible. Before use, the connection should be checked for secure attachment and suitability for the intended application.
The cannula’s fine profile allows it to be incorporated into specialized ophthalmic and lacrimal instrument sets. Its 25mm length provides a practical working configuration while the 23G diameter supports controlled fluid delivery. The instrument should be handled carefully and used only by appropriately trained ophthalmic professionals following established clinical protocols.
For reusable configurations, proper cleaning and inspection are essential after use. Particular attention should be given to the internal lumen to help prevent retained material or blockage. The cannula should also be inspected for bending, deformation, surface damage, or other abnormalities before subsequent use.
Construction should be verified according to the specific product supplied. Ophthalmic cannulas are commonly manufactured from durable surgical-grade instrument materials suitable for professional medical environments. Reusable versions should be cleaned, disinfected, sterilized, and stored according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved reprocessing procedures.
If supplied as a single-use device, it should be used only according to the product labeling and should not be reprocessed or reused unless specifically authorized. Appropriate sterile handling should be maintained throughout clinical use.
The Lacrimal Cannula 25mm 23G is a practical addition to specialized ophthalmic and lacrimal procedure sets. Its combination of a fine 23G profile and 25mm length provides a dedicated configuration for controlled fluid-delivery applications in professional ophthalmic environments.
