Description
Gills Irrigation/Aspiration Cannula
The Gills irrigation aspiration cannula is a slim manual I/A tool sized 25/23 gauge. Its fine profile passes through small wounds and side ports. So it suits surgeons who like manual cortex removal in small incision cases.
Reading 25/23 gauge
The listing gives one size: 25/23 gauge. Two numbers like this usually describe two parts of the cannula, such as the tip and the shaft. In practice, it means a fine tip with a slightly stronger body behind it. If you need exact figures, please ask us.

Subincisional cortex
Cortex under the main wound is often the hardest to reach. A slim Gills tool can enter through a side port and reach back under the incision. Turn the port toward the cortex, engage it, then draw it out gently. Also, go slowly near the capsule edge.
Gills or a wider cannula
Pick the Gills for small wounds and fine control. However, a wider tool clears bulk cortex faster. Many surgeons start with a wider tube, then finish with this one for the last pieces.
Reprocessing a fine I/A tool
Fine bores clog quickly, so flush them at once. Next, use an enzyme soak, then rinse and air dry. Check flow through both channels before you pack it. It ships non-sterile and can return to the sterile field after each full cycle.
