Ophthalmic needle, reusable

An ophthalmic needle, reusable is a slender, hollow instrument with a sharp beveled tip designed for use with a syringe to deliver fluids such as anesthetic agents or therapeutic drugs to tissues in and around the eye, including extraocular muscles. It may also be used for diagnostic aspiration, such as withdrawing aqueous humor, and can include features like a positioning guide or depth stop to aid precise placement during procedures.

As a reusable device, it is intended for multiple uses after appropriate cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization in accordance with manufacturer instructions. Regulatory oversight focuses on its reusable nature, material biocompatibility, and performance integrity over repeated use cycles, with classification and conformity assessment based on its intended clinical function and risk profile.
