The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Straight 23G is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled fluid delivery during compatible anterior chamber procedures. Featuring the McIntyre pattern and a straight 23-gauge configuration, this cannula provides a practical option for delicate ophthalmic applications requiring controlled fluid management.
The 23G gauge provides a fine working profile suitable for ophthalmic microsurgical applications. Its straight configuration offers direct positioning and predictable handling compared with angled cannula designs. This makes it a useful choice when a straight McIntyre-pattern cannula is preferred for the intended clinical setup.
The cannula is designed to work with compatible fluid-delivery equipment, such as appropriate syringes, tubing, or irrigation systems. Connection requirements may vary depending on the manufacturer and specific product configuration, so compatibility should always be confirmed before use. The instrument should be used only for applications supported by the applicable product labeling and clinical protocol.
The McIntyre pattern makes this cannula easy to identify when organizing ophthalmic surgical instruments and specialized microsurgical sets. Its compact design allows it to be stored and arranged alongside other fine-gauge ophthalmic cannulas and fluid-delivery accessories.
Proper inspection is important before use. The cannula should be examined for visible damage, deformation, contamination, or blockage within the fluid pathway. The fine working end should be handled carefully and protected during storage to help maintain its intended condition.
The McIntyre Anterior Chamber Cannula Straight 23G is intended for trained ophthalmic professionals and can be incorporated into compatible ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets. Its 23G specification and straight configuration provide clear selection criteria when choosing between different cannula gauges and designs.
The instrument is made from appropriate surgical-grade instrument material for reliable handling and durability when properly maintained. Exact material composition, working length, tip geometry, and connection specifications should be confirmed from the applicable manufacturer documentation.
Depending on the specific product configuration and labeling, the cannula may be supplied as a reusable or single-use instrument. Reusable versions should be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized according to validated manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol.
With its McIntyre pattern, 23G fine profile, and straight configuration, this anterior chamber cannula provides a practical option for controlled fluid delivery in compatible ophthalmic microsurgical applications.
