Ochsner Trocar and Cannula 20Fg

Clinical Application

This trocar and cannula set is intended to create an immediate, rigid percutaneous access tract for the introduction of drainage catheters, wires, or instruments and to facilitate evacuation of fluid or air. At 20Fg sizing, it is commonly used for small- to moderate-bore drainage and access procedures where a controlled puncture and a stable lumen are required—examples include pleural drainage, soft-tissue abscess drainage, and percutaneous procedural access in the emergency department, operating room, or interventional suite.

Design & Configuration

The system pairs a sharp obturator (trocar) with a matching cannula to provide controlled tissue penetration and an immediate conduit once positioned. The obturator tip geometry permits predictable entry with tactile feedback while the cannula maintains a secure lumen for device passage or fluid egress. A flanged or keyed cannula hub enables secure handling and connection to drainage tubing or adapters, and the matching components are designed for straightforward assembly and disassembly during reprocessing.
