Anterior Chamber Cannula Hydrodissection

Specialized Hydrodissection Engineering The Surgiportal Hydrodissection Cannula is a critical instrument in modern phacoemulsification and extracapsular cataract surgery. Unlike standard irrigation cannulas, this tool is specifically designed for the hydrodissection and hydrodelineation phases. The distal tip is precision-flattened to facilitate easy insertion under the capsulorhexis edge, allowing for the delivery of a controlled fluid wave that separates the lens nucleus from its cortex and capsule. This mobilization is essential for safe nucleus rotation and efficient emulsification. Atraumatic Flattened Tip Ophthalmic surgery requires the highest level of tissue respect. Our hydrodissection cannula features: Ultra-Smooth Tip Finish: The flattened distal end is meticulously polished to be burr-free, ensuring it can be swept under the lens capsule without risking a capsular tear or zonular stress. Angled Profile: The shaft is typically angled at 45° or 90° (depending on model) to provide the surgeon with an ergonomic approach through the corneal incision, reaching even the most difficult sub-incisional areas. Controlled Fluid Dynamics: The lumen is designed to create a “fan-like” fluid wave rather than a concentrated jet, promoting a more uniform separation of lens layers. Secure Connectivity & Ergonomics Reliable fluid delivery is non-negotiable. This cannula is equipped with a standard Luer-lock hub , providing a leak-proof connection to standard syringes. The hub design allows for stable finger placement, giving the surgeon the pinpoint control needed to deliver the hydrodissection wave with the exact pressure required to mobilize the nucleus without over-pressurizing the eye. Premium OR-Grade Construction Crafted from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel , the Surgiportal Hydrodissection Cannula is built for microsurgical longevity. While these are often treated as high-precision items, our stainless steel construction ensures the tips remain perfectly aligned and the lumen stays clear through repeated clinical use. Fully autoclavable and reusable , they provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative to lower-grade disposable options. Features & Benefits Flattened Distal Tip: Optimized for atraumatic entry beneath the anterior lens capsule. Broad Fluid Delivery: Designed to create an effective cortical-cleaving hydro-wave. Precision-Angled Shaft: Enhances access to all quadrants of the lens nucleus. Universal Luer-Lock Hub: Ensures a secure, high-pressure-capable connection to syringes. Burr-Free Mirror Finish: Protects the capsular bag and corneal endothelium. OR-Grade Stainless Steel: High-durability, rust-resistant, and built for professional longevity. Fully Autoclavable: Engineered for standard ophthalmic sterilization protocols.

What is the advantage of a flattened tip for hydrodissection? The flattened tip acts like a small spatula, allowing you to “lift” the capsule edge slightly and guide the fluid wave more accurately between the capsule and the cortex, which is safer and more effective than using a round-tip cannula. 2. Can this be used for both hydrodissection and hydrodelineation? Yes. By adjusting the depth of the tip and the pressure of the fluid wave, this cannula can be used to separate the nucleus from the cortex (hydrodissection) or the epinucleus from the endonucleus (hydrodelineation). 3. How should I clean the cannula to prevent “TASS” (Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome)? Thorough cleaning is vital. Flush the cannula immediately after use with sterile water or a dedicated cleaning solution to remove all viscoelastic and protein residues. Ensure it is completely dry and clear before autoclaving.
