Anterior Chamber Cannulas (also known as: Air Injection, Rycroft, and Viscoelastic Cannulas) are used to irrigate the anterior chamber and moisten the cornea during cataract surgery. They have smooth rounded tips for the safe introduction of viscoelastic. With a larger inside diameter, viscous materials flow through the cannulas with less effort.
Andoyne Surgical offers and stocks the widest variety of Anterior Chamber Cannula. To use the chart below, select the desired gauge and length of angled tip, then record that catalog number. (For example, a 27g cannula with a 6mm angled tip would be catalog number 1001-6). The drawings at the top of each column depict actual length of the angled tip.
