Additional Information for Lachrymal Cannula
Lachrymal cannula is a medical instrument used in ophthalmology for the irrigation or aspiration of tears from the lacrimal sac or duct. It is specifically designed to access the lacrimal system, which is responsible for producing and draining tears.
The cannula is a thin, hollow tube made of medical-grade stainless steel or plastic. It is available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient needs and anatomical variations. The tip of the cannula is usually curved or angled to facilitate insertion into the lacrimal sac or duct.
Lachrymal cannulas are commonly used in procedures such as lacrimal duct probing, irrigation, and dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). During these procedures, the cannula is inserted into the lacrimal punctum (the small opening in the inner corner of the eye) and advanced into the lacrimal sac or duct. It allows for the introduction of saline solution or other medications to flush out blockages or to collect tears for analysis.
These cannulas are essential tools for ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and other eye care professionals who diagnose and treat conditions related to the lacrimal system. They are typically disposable or single-use devices to ensure patient safety and prevent cross-contamination.
Lachrymal cannulas are part of the larger category of medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies, which includes a wide range of tools used in various medical procedures. They fall under the supply group of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies, which encompasses all the necessary items for medical, dental, and veterinary practices.
