The Anis Irrigation Vectus 23G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled irrigation and delicate intraocular manipulation. Combining an irrigation function with a vectus-style working profile, this instrument is intended for ophthalmic procedures where accurate positioning and controlled fluid management are important.
With a 23G gauge, the cannula provides a fine working profile suitable for microsurgical applications. The narrow diameter helps support controlled irrigation within the confined surgical environment of the eye while allowing the surgeon to maintain precise instrument positioning. Its design makes it particularly useful as part of specialized cataract and anterior-segment instrument sets.
The Anis Irrigation Vectus may be used when irrigation is required alongside careful manipulation of ocular tissues or surgical structures. The irrigation capability can assist with controlled fluid delivery according to the surgeon’s technique and the requirements of the procedure. As with other ophthalmic cannulas, it should be connected only to a compatible syringe, tubing, or irrigation system designed for the intended application.
The 23G configuration offers a practical size for ophthalmic microsurgery, providing a relatively fine cannula profile while maintaining a lumen suitable for controlled fluid movement. The instrument can be incorporated into cataract surgery and other delicate anterior-segment procedures where irrigation and manipulation are required. The exact clinical application should always be determined by the surgeon based on the instrument’s design and the procedure being performed.
For reliable performance, the cannula should be carefully inspected before each use. The working end and lumen should be checked for blockage, deformation, residue, or other damage that could affect fluid delivery. Because ophthalmic cannulas have relatively small internal passages, proper cleaning and flushing are especially important for reusable configurations.
After use, the instrument should be processed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s validated reprocessing protocol. Reusable instruments should be appropriately cleaned, flushed, inspected, packaged, and sterilized before subsequent use. If the product is supplied as a single-use device, it should not be reprocessed or reused unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer and applicable regulations.
The Anis Irrigation Vectus 23G is a useful addition to ophthalmic surgical instrument collections requiring a fine-gauge irrigation and manipulation instrument. Its Anis pattern, 23G profile, and irrigation-focused design make it suitable for professional ophthalmic microsurgical environments where controlled fluid management and precise handling are essential.

FAQs
What is the Anis Irrigation Vectus 23G used for?
It is designed to provide controlled irrigation while supporting delicate manipulation during ophthalmic microsurgical procedures.
What does 23G mean?
23G refers to the gauge of the cannula and indicates its approximate diameter. It provides a fine profile suitable for ophthalmic microsurgery.
Can the Anis Irrigation Vectus be used during cataract surgery?
It may be used during cataract procedures when its design is appropriate for the surgeon’s technique and the specific surgical application.
What is the purpose of the irrigation function?
The irrigation function allows controlled delivery of fluid during the procedure, supporting fluid management according to the surgical technique.
Can it be connected to a syringe?
A compatible configuration may be connected to an appropriate syringe, tubing, or irrigation system. Compatibility should be verified before use.
How should the cannula be cleaned?
For reusable versions, the cannula should be flushed and cleaned carefully to remove material from the lumen, followed by inspection and sterilization according to validated protocols.
Is the Anis Irrigation Vectus 23G reusable?
Reusability depends on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Always follow the supplied instructions for use.
