Coaxial Aspiration Cannula

Coaxial Aspiration Cannula is a specialized ophthalmic instrument used during cataract surgery and anterior segment procedures for the aspiration of cortical material, surgical debris, and ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) while maintaining intraocular chamber stability.

The instrument features a coaxial configuration, in which irrigation and aspiration functions are integrated into a single instrument. This design allows continuous fluid inflow around the aspiration channel, helping maintain anterior chamber depth while simultaneously removing residual intraocular material.

The fine atraumatic aspiration tip enables precise removal of cortical remnants and surgical debris from the capsular bag and anterior chamber. The integrated irrigation flow supports a stable surgical environment and enhances visibility throughout the procedure.

Coaxial Aspiration Cannulas are commonly used following phacoemulsification to perform cortical cleanup before intraocular lens implantation. Their dual-function design helps streamline surgical workflow and supports efficient fluid management.

The slim microsurgical shaft allows insertion through small corneal incisions and provides excellent visibility under the operating microscope. The instrument’s lightweight construction and ergonomic design offer superior balance, tactile feedback, and maneuverability during delicate intraocular procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel and medical-grade components, the instrument provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Precision-engineered internal channels support smooth irrigation and aspiration flow dynamics.

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

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

Fully reusable and autoclavable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining lumen integrity, fluid control accuracy, and structural performance.
