Description
The 21G BI-MANUAL I/A SYSTEM is an advanced single-use irrigation and aspiration tool meticulously designed for ophthalmic procedures such as cataract surgery and phacoemulsification. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining a clear surgical field by efficiently managing residual cortex and fluids, thereby enhancing visibility for the surgeon.
Key Features
- Gauge Size: 21G (0.8mm) for precise control.
- Compatibility: Universally compatible with all Phaco or I/A systems, minimizing cross-contamination risks.
Handpiece Design
- Irrigation Handpiece: Features a curved cannula with dual side ports, each 0.45mm in diameter. It includes a textured surface for comfortable handling and standard luer lock connectors.
- Aspiration Handpiece: Equipped with a curved cannula and a smooth aspiration port of 0.35mm diameter. The textured tip aids in capsule polishing, complemented by a standard luer lock connector.
Ergonomics and Identification
- Color-Coding: Blue for irrigation and yellow for aspiration, allowing easy identification.
- Ergonomic Grip: Provides enhanced handling and control.
- Tip Design: Smooth bullet-shaped or tapered tips to minimize ocular trauma during use.
Surgical Applications
Designed for biaxial surgery with independent irrigation and aspiration lines, the system supports small incisions as tiny as 1.2mm. It is suitable for use with small-incision intraocular lenses (IOLs), making it ideal for advanced ophthalmic procedures.
Material and Safety
- Material Options: Available in titanium and stainless steel for reusable versions, while disposable versions are sterile and single-use.
- Safety Features: Reduces efflux and maintains stable anterior chambers during surgery, crucial for preventing eye damage.
Packaging
The system is available in sterile, disposable sets, packaged in boxes of 10, catering to the needs of ophthalmic surgical environments.
Specialized Design
The elliptic cannula design requires careful monitoring of irrigation liquid bottle height and pressure conditions. This feature is essential for compatibility with machines like Pentasys, Millennium, and Sovereign, supporting small-incision techniques for advanced intraocular lens insertion.
This comprehensive design ensures that the 21G BI-MANUAL I/A SYSTEM meets the demanding needs of modern ophthalmic surgery, providing precision, safety, and reliability in every use.
