Ochsner Trocar and Cannula 12Fg

Clinical Application

This trocar and cannula set provides a controlled percutaneous access port for procedures that require introduction of drains, catheters, or small instruments. The 12Fg sizing offers a balance between minimal invasiveness and sufficient lumen for common drainage catheters and instrument shafts, making it suitable for general surgery, interventional procedures, and minor operative access in ambulatory and hospital settings.

Design & Configuration

The system uses a removable obturator (trocar) paired with a matched cannula. The obturator allows safe, controlled penetration of soft tissues and the cannula maintains a stable channel once placed. Removability of the obturator facilitates exchange of drainage devices or instruments through the cannula without repeated tissue puncture. The 12Fg diameter influences both ease of insertion and the internal working lumen — an important consideration when selecting access for a particular catheter size or instrument profile.
