Angled Aspiration Cannula

Angled Aspiration Cannula is a specialized ophthalmic instrument used for aspiration and fluid management during cataract surgery and other anterior segment microsurgical procedures.

The instrument features a precision-angled distal shaft designed to improve access to peripheral regions of the anterior chamber and capsular bag. The angled configuration allows surgeons to approach intraocular structures from optimal positions while maintaining excellent visibility and control under the operating microscope.

The fine atraumatic aspiration tip enables precise removal of residual cortical material, lens fragments, ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs), balanced salt solution, and surgical debris while minimizing trauma to delicate ocular tissues.

Its precision-engineered aspiration lumen provides controlled suction and efficient evacuation of intraocular material. The angled design is particularly useful for accessing subincisional cortex and peripheral capsular areas that may be difficult to reach with straight aspiration instruments.

Angled Aspiration Cannulas are commonly utilized during phacoemulsification cataract surgery, cortical cleanup procedures, capsular bag cleaning, viscoelastic removal, intraocular lens implantation, and other anterior segment surgical interventions.

The slim microsurgical shaft allows insertion through small corneal incisions while maintaining an unobstructed view of the surgical field. The angled geometry supports precise maneuverability and controlled aspiration near sensitive intraocular structures.

Its lightweight ergonomic construction provides excellent balance, tactile feedback, and handling characteristics, allowing surgeons to perform delicate aspiration procedures with confidence and precision.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The smooth polished internal lumen supports efficient fluid flow and facilitates cleaning and maintenance.

Available in multiple angles, tip diameters, aspiration port configurations, shaft lengths, and connector styles, Angled Aspiration Cannulas can be selected according to surgical technique and surgeon preference.

Widely used in hospitals, ophthalmic surgery centers, eye clinics, and ambulatory surgical facilities, the Angled Aspiration Cannula is an essential component of cataract and anterior segment surgery instrument sets.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining lumen integrity, aspiration efficiency, and structural precision.
