Bowman Lacrimal Cannula with Handle

The Bowman Lacrimal Cannula with Handle is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for irrigation, probing, and diagnostic evaluation of the lacrimal drainage system . It is widely used in ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, particularly in procedures involving nasolacrimal duct obstruction and dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) assessments. This instrument is essential for evaluating tear drainage patency by allowing controlled irrigation of saline or contrast solution through the lacrimal canaliculi into the nasolacrimal duct. The fine, smooth cannula tip ensures atraumatic insertion, minimizing patient discomfort and reducing the risk of tissue injury during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel , the Bowman Lacrimal Cannula with Handle offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. It is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity or performance, making it suitable for hospitals, eye clinics, and surgical centers. The ergonomically designed handle provides superior grip and control, allowing surgeons to perform precise irrigation with steady hand movement. Its balanced construction enhances maneuverability, especially during delicate lacrimal system procedures where accuracy is critical. The cannula is commonly used in lacrimal duct probing, syringing tests, DCR surgery, nasolacrimal duct obstruction assessment, and post-operative lacrimal system evaluation . It plays a key role in both diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmic workflows. The smooth polished surface of the instrument minimizes friction during insertion, ensuring patient safety and procedural efficiency. A satin anti-glare finish reduces reflections under surgical lighting, improving visualization and control during use. As a reusable ophthalmic instrument, the Bowman Lacrimal Cannula with Handle provides excellent long-term value. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance and reliability across repeated clinical procedures while maintaining precision fluid delivery. For ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons, this instrument remains an essential tool for safe, effective, and accurate evaluation of the lacrimal drainage system.
