Ochsner Trocar and Cannula 22Fg

Clinical Application

Small-bore 22Fg trocar and cannula sets provide controlled percutaneous access to body cavities or tissue planes for diagnostic, therapeutic, or procedural use. Common applications include placement of drainage catheters, passage of guidewires, introduction of small endoscopic instruments or probes, and bedside percutaneous procedures where a low-profile access port is required. The reduced outer diameter of a 22Fg system minimizes tissue disruption and is useful when a smaller access tract is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The obturator fits concentrically within the cannula to create a controlled puncture and is removed to leave a stable cannula lumen for instrument or catheter passage. The simple trocar-and-cannula geometry provides tactile feedback during entry and a consistent internal bore for smooth device passage. A small-bore 22Fg profile reduces insertion force and soft-tissue trauma while maintaining sufficient lumen for common drainage and instrument needs.
