Eye surgery cannulas are fine tubes designed to deliver or remove fluids or medications during an operation. An ophthalmic cannula is crafted for smooth, atraumatic insertion into the anterior or posterior segment to perform irrigation, aspiration, and tissue manipulation. They are used with a bulb irrigator and come in many configurations, including lacrimal, anterior chamber, LASIK irrigation, and hydrodissector designs, allowing surgeons to select the ideal tip shape and gauge for each procedure.

| Which gauge is recommended for hydrodissection? A fine hydrodissection cannula, commonly 25- or 27-gauge, is selected according to the surgical technique, incision size and fluid-control preference. Are curved and angled cannula tips available? Yes. Cannulas are available with straight, curved, angled or spatulated tips to suit various procedures. Are cannulas for eye surgery reusable or disposable? RUMEX offers both versions. This is a page for reusable cannulas. What syringe connection is supported? Our ophthalmic cannulas use a standard Luer-lock connection. Confirm the fitting and compatibility with the intended syringe or tubing. How should reusable cannulas be cleaned? Flush the lumen immediately after use with sterile or purified water according to the Care & Cleaning Instructions. Use an appropriately sized soft cleaning brush if permitted, then rinse, dry and sterilize. |
