Description
The Silicone Tip Cannula is a precision-engineered ophthalmic instrument designed for delicate manipulation and controlled aspiration during vitreoretinal surgery. Featuring a soft, flexible silicone tip, this cannula minimizes the risk of retinal trauma while working close to sensitive intraocular structures such as the retina, optic disc, and macula.
Widely used in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) procedures, the silicone tip cannula allows safe fluid aspiration, membrane dissection assistance, fluid–air exchange management, and drainage of subretinal fluid. The atraumatic silicone tip provides enhanced safety during work in proximity to detached retina or fragile retinal tissue, making it an essential instrument in advanced retinal surgery.
Manufactured from stainless steel with a securely bonded medical-grade silicone tip, the cannula ensures durability, optimal flexibility, and precise fluid control. It is available in various gauges (20G, 23G, 25G to suit different vitreoretinal surgical techniques and microincision vitrectomy systems (MIVS). The ergonomic hub design allows secure connection to aspiration tubing or a syringe for controlled suction.
