Ochsner Trocar and Cannula 22Fg

Clinical Application

This trocar-and-cannula set provides a controlled percutaneous access pathway for placement of drains, catheters, and the passage of instruments in general surgical and procedural settings. The 22Fg size is commonly used when a moderate-caliber lumen is required for pleural, abdominal, or soft-tissue drainage and for introducer-style procedures where a stable channel is needed to exchange devices or evacuate fluid.

Design & Configuration

The instrument pairs a pointed trocar stylet with a matched cannula to permit controlled penetration of tissues and immediate establishment of a smooth-walled access lumen. The matched fit between stylet and cannula minimizes wobble during insertion and facilitates quick removal of the stylet once access is achieved. The overall geometry prioritizes tactile feedback during entry and a stable internal bore for passage of drains or instruments of equivalent French size.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide rigidity and corrosion resistance appropriate for repeated use and sterilization. Precision machining of the cannula bore ensures smooth instrument and drain exchanges. The stylet is formed to give predictable tissue penetration while the cannula is designed to maintain lumen integrity during device insertion and manipulation.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
