Clinical Application
This small-caliber irrigation cannula is designed to deliver controlled fluid flow for flushing vessels, lumens and surgical fields. Typical uses include vessel irrigation during microvascular anastomosis, removal of debris and clot during vascular procedures, targeted irrigation in ENT and plastic surgery, and general operative irrigation where a narrow-bore, precise stream is required. The 3 mm tip diameter provides a balance between flow rate and fine control for delicate applications.
Design & Configuration
The Schmid pattern is a tubular, single-lumen cannula sized for small-vessel work. A 3 mm external tip diameter combined with a 15 cm overall length allows access into moderate-depth operative sites while maintaining a controlled, low-profile fluid stream that minimizes tissue disruption. The small-caliber geometry supports precise placement of irrigation fluid and helps reduce pooling within confined surgical fields.
