Ophthalmic irrigation/infusion/aspiration cannulas are sterile, single-use tubes used in eye surgery to deliver fluids, remove waste, or infuse gases. They assist in procedures like cataract surgery, vitreoretinal repairs, or sub-Tenon’s anesthesia by maintaining fluid balance or clearing debris without direct eye penetration.
These devices are typically classified as single-use medical instruments and regulated under surgical or ophthalmic device standards. They’re often supplied sterile and packaged for immediate clinical use, with materials like stainless steel or flexible tubing ensuring precision and safety during delicate procedures.
