Lacrimal Cannula with Syringe Adapter

Description

Lacrimal Cannula with Syringe Adapter

The Lacrimal Cannula with Syringe Adapter is a precision ophthalmic instrument designed for irrigating and probing the lacrimal drainage system. Machined from high-grade surgical stainless steel, this fine-gauge cannula is available in Straight, Curved, Angled, and Short Angled tip styles, allowing controlled access to the canaliculi and nasolacrimal duct, while the integrated syringe adapter provides a secure, leak-free connection for saline irrigation or contrast delivery.

Key Features of the Lacrimal Cannula with Syringe Adapter

• Fine-gauge tip for smooth, atraumatic passage through the lacrimal canaliculi
• Available in Straight, Curved, Angled, and Short Angled profiles to match the natural anatomy of the lacrimal drainage pathway
• Integrated syringe adapter with a secure fitting for consistent, controlled irrigation flow
• Constructed from corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel for durability and repeated sterilization
• Smooth, polished finish that minimizes tissue trauma during insertion
• Reliable, repeatable performance for both diagnostic and therapeutic lacrimal procedures

Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

Ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and ophthalmic technicians rely on the Lacrimal Cannula with Syringe Adapter for lacrimal duct irrigation, patency testing, and diagnostic evaluation of tear drainage function. The range of tip styles lets clinicians select the profile best suited to the patient’s anatomy, from routine in-office irrigation to more involved lacrimal surgical procedures where precise control over the instrument tip is essential to avoid damaging delicate canalicular tissue.

Care and Maintenance

To preserve the instrument’s precision tip and surface finish, clean immediately after use with an enzymatic instrument cleaner, rinse thoroughly with purified water, and dry completely before sterilization. Autoclave according to your facility’s standard surgical steam sterilization protocol. Inspect the cannula tip and adapter before each use for any signs of bending, blockage, or wear, and store separately from heavier instruments to protect the fine shaft from accidental damage.

Compliance and Quality

Every Lacrimal Cannula with Syringe Adapter is manufactured under strict quality control to meet the demands of professional ophthalmic practice.
