The Shahinian Lacrimal Cannula 23G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled fluid delivery and delicate manipulation during procedures involving the lacrimal system. Its fine 23-gauge profile provides a narrow working diameter suitable for precise handling in small anatomical spaces.
Lacrimal procedures require instruments that can be positioned carefully while allowing the surgeon to maintain control over irrigation or fluid delivery. The Shahinian pattern is designed for this type of delicate ophthalmic application, making it a useful component of lacrimal and ophthalmic surgical instrument sets.
The 23G configuration provides a fine cannula profile appropriate for microsurgical work. When connected to a compatible syringe, tubing, or irrigation system, the cannula can be used to deliver fluid in a controlled manner according to the surgical technique. The appropriate connection and fluid-delivery setup should always be confirmed before clinical use.
The Shahinian Lacrimal Cannula may be incorporated into procedures involving the lacrimal drainage system and other delicate ophthalmic applications where controlled irrigation is required. Its compact working profile helps support accurate instrument placement while minimizing unnecessary bulk within the surgical field.
For ophthalmic microsurgery, maintaining a clear and unobstructed cannula lumen is particularly important. Before use, the instrument should be inspected for blockage, bending, surface damage, or other abnormalities that could interfere with its intended function. Proper flushing and cleaning are important for reusable cannula configurations because fine internal passages can retain biological material if not processed correctly.
After use, the cannula should be cleaned and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s validated reprocessing protocol. Reusable instruments should be appropriately flushed, cleaned, inspected, packaged, and sterilized before subsequent use. If supplied as a single-use device, it should be handled according to its labeling and should not be reused unless specifically authorized.
The Shahinian Lacrimal Cannula 23G is a practical choice for ophthalmic professionals requiring a fine-gauge cannula for controlled fluid management during lacrimal microsurgical procedures. Its specialized pattern and 23G profile make it suitable for inclusion in dedicated ophthalmic and lacrimal surgical sets.
