The Knolle Pearce Lens Loop Cannula 23G is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for precise lens manipulation during delicate microsurgical procedures. Its lens loop configuration provides a focused working profile for controlled handling of lens material and related structures according to the surgeon’s technique.
Featuring a fine 23G profile, this cannula is suitable for ophthalmic procedures where accurate positioning and delicate instrument control are essential. The narrow working diameter allows the instrument to be handled within the confined surgical environment of the eye while supporting the precision required during cataract and anterior-segment procedures.
The Knolle Pearce pattern is designed for specialized ophthalmic use and can be incorporated into cataract surgery instrument sets. The lens loop portion may assist with engaging, positioning, or manipulating lens material during the appropriate stage of a procedure. The exact use should be determined by the surgeon according to the instrument configuration, surgical approach, and patient requirements.
The cannula’s fine profile can support controlled manipulation under surgical magnification. Ophthalmic microsurgical instruments must be positioned carefully to avoid unnecessary contact with surrounding structures, making precise instrument selection and handling particularly important. The Knolle Pearce Lens Loop Cannula provides a specialized option for professionals requiring a fine-gauge lens manipulation instrument.
Before each use, the instrument should be inspected carefully for deformation, damage, surface irregularities, or contamination. If the cannula incorporates a lumen, it should also be checked to ensure that the passage is clear and suitable for its intended function. Fine ophthalmic instruments require careful handling to maintain their shape and working characteristics.
For reusable configurations, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned and processed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. Particular attention should be given to any narrow lumen or difficult-to-access area during cleaning. Following cleaning, the instrument should be inspected before packaging and sterilization. Single-use configurations should be handled according to their labeling and should not be reused unless specifically authorized.
The Knolle Pearce Lens Loop Cannula 23G is a useful addition to professional ophthalmic surgical sets where controlled lens manipulation and fine microsurgical handling are required. Its specialized pattern, lens loop design, and 23G profile make it suitable for cataract and other delicate anterior-segment applications.
