Lucae Paracentesis Needle 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled anterior chamber entry and aspiration, this paracentesis needle is used by ophthalmic surgeons to decompress the anterior chamber, obtain small-volume aqueous samples, or facilitate maneuvers during cataract and other intraocular procedures. The fine beveled tip enables precise, low-trauma entry into the anterior chamber for predictable fluid egress under direct visualization.

Design & Configuration

The straight, single-lumen geometry provides tactile feedback and alignment for microsurgical techniques. A 20 cm overall length gives the operator sufficient shaft to grip and position the instrument comfortably while maintaining a secure distance from the sterile field. The beveled sharp tip is configured to create a clean entry point with minimal tissue disruption, aiding controlled aspiration when used with a syringe.
