Eye Enzyme Cannula Angled

Description

Eye Enzyme Cannula Angled

This eye enzyme cannula has an angled tip on a fine irrigating shaft. Its name comes from older cataract techniques that placed enzyme solution behind the iris. Today, its angle also suits other small injections in the anterior segment.

Where the enzyme name comes from

In older intracapsular cataract surgery, surgeons sometimes placed an enzyme solution near the zonules to loosen them. The angled cannula helped reach behind the iris. So the name stuck, even as techniques moved on. We mention this only as history. Use the tool according to current practice and your own training.

Pattern features

One angled pattern is listed. It offers:

• Angled tip
• Fine irrigating bore
• Syringe hub
• Reusable steel

Handling the angle

Enter with the tip turned so the angle follows the wound. Then rotate it gently toward the target area. Inject slowly, since small volumes are often enough. Also, keep the tip away from the lens and the endothelium.

Choosing an angled cannula

An angled tip reaches behind tissue that a straight tip cannot. However, a straight cannula is easier for direct, open areas. So pick this tool when you need to work around a corner. For example, it can help when you need a little fluid under the iris edge.

Looking after the angled tip

Push water through the bore right after the case, because drug residue hardens fast. Then let it sit in an enzymatic bath for the time your cleaner states. Rinse, then blow the lumen dry. It is supplied unsterile, so steam it before the first case and between later ones.
