The Lieppman Cystotome with Guard 22G 23mm is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled capsule-related applications. Featuring a 22G profile, a stated 23mm dimension, and a guarded working configuration, this cystotome provides a specialized design for ophthalmic professionals who require controlled handling and precise instrument positioning.
The guarded configuration is an important feature of this instrument, providing a defined working arrangement around the cystotome tip. The guard is intended to help control the working end and provide consistent instrument positioning during compatible ophthalmic microsurgical applications. The exact design and protective function of the guard should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s specifications.
With a 22G profile, the instrument provides a fine working size suitable for delicate ophthalmic microsurgical environments. The stated 23mm dimension provides an additional size reference for selecting the appropriate instrument for a surgical instrument set. Because the product title does not specify whether 23mm refers to working length, overall length, or another dimensional feature, the manufacturer’s dimensional specification should be used when exact sizing is required.
The Lieppman cystotome is designed for compatible capsule-related ophthalmic applications, including procedures where controlled capsule manipulation or opening is required. It should be used only by appropriately trained ophthalmic professionals and according to established clinical protocols and the manufacturer’s intended-use instructions.
The instrument is manufactured from surgical-grade instrument material suitable for professional ophthalmic applications. The cystotome’s working end and guard should be inspected before use to ensure that they are properly aligned, free from visible damage, and not deformed. Careful handling is particularly important for maintaining the geometry of the delicate working end.
For reusable configurations, the Lieppman Cystotome should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. The guarded working area should receive appropriate inspection during cleaning to ensure that no residual material remains. If the specific instrument is labeled for single use, it should not be reprocessed or reused.
The Lieppman Cystotome with Guard 22G 23mm is a useful addition to ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets requiring a guarded cystotome with a defined 22G profile and 23mm dimensional specification. Its specialized configuration supports controlled handling and precise positioning in professional ophthalmic surgical environments.
