The Ciapryna coaxial cannula.
We describe a high quality, reusable, coaxial irrigation aspiration cannula for cortical cleansing during cataract surgery. Its advantages are that it is cheap, resterilisable, atraumatic, and has a rapid inflow, low-pressure irrigation rate enabling faster and safer aspiration of soft lens matter.
