Flared Tip Aspiration Cannula

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

Designed for microsurgical precision, the instrument features a flared distal tip that provides a broader aspiration interface while maintaining controlled fluid removal. The flared configuration may assist in efficient aspiration of residual cortical material, viscoelastic substances, balanced salt solution, and surgical debris from the anterior chamber and capsular bag.

The precision-engineered aspiration lumen supports consistent suction performance and controlled evacuation of material from the surgical field. The design helps maintain clear visualization throughout delicate ophthalmic procedures and contributes to efficient intraocular fluid management.

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

The slim shaft allows smooth insertion through small corneal incisions while providing excellent visibility under the operating microscope. The specialized tip geometry facilitates access to confined intraocular spaces and supports controlled aspiration near delicate ocular structures.

Its lightweight ergonomic design offers excellent balance, tactile feedback, and maneuverability, enabling surgeons to perform precise aspiration procedures with confidence and control.

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

Available in multiple tip diameters, shaft lengths, aspiration port configurations, and connector styles, Flared Tip 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 Flared Tip Aspiration Cannula is an important 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, tip precision, and structural performance.
