Curved Lacrimal Cannula

Curved Lacrimal Cannula is a specialized ophthalmic instrument used for irrigation, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic procedures involving the lacrimal drainage system, including the puncta, canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct.

Designed to accommodate the natural anatomy of the lacrimal pathways, the instrument features a precision-curved cannula shaft and atraumatic tip that facilitate smooth navigation through delicate lacrimal structures. The curved configuration allows enhanced access and improved maneuverability during irrigation and examination procedures.

The fine atraumatic tip minimizes tissue trauma while supporting accurate placement within the lacrimal drainage system. Its precision lumen enables controlled delivery of irrigation solutions for assessing tear duct patency, identifying obstructions, and assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of lacrimal disorders.

Curved Lacrimal Cannulas are commonly used to evaluate tear drainage function, confirm canalicular patency, investigate nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and assist in lacrimal surgical procedures. The curved design is particularly beneficial when navigating anatomical contours that may be difficult to access with straight instruments.

The lightweight construction provides excellent tactile feedback and procedural control, allowing ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons to perform delicate interventions with precision.

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

Available in multiple curvature profiles, lengths, diameters, and tip styles, Curved Lacrimal Cannulas can be selected according to patient anatomy, clinical requirements, and surgeon preference.

Widely used in hospitals, ophthalmic surgery centers, eye clinics, ambulatory surgical facilities, and specialty ophthalmology practices, the Curved Lacrimal Cannula is an essential instrument for lacrimal diagnostics and treatment.

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