Ophthalmology Atkinson Retrobulbar Needle 23g

The Ophthalmic Atkinson Retrobulbar Needle is a specialized ophthalmic instrument featuring a 23G needle configuration. It is designed for compatible ophthalmic applications requiring an Atkinson-style retrobulbar needle.

The fine 23G configuration provides a defined needle profile for appropriate ophthalmic instrument setups. The supplied product information does not specify the overall needle length, tip configuration, material, or hub design.

Design and Configuration

The instrument is configured as an Atkinson Retrobulbar Needle with a 23G gauge. The Atkinson configuration identifies the supplied needle style, while the 23G specification defines the needle gauge.

Additional specifications such as shaft length, tip geometry, hub configuration, and material have not been provided and are therefore not assumed.

Ophthalmic Application

The needle is designed for compatible ophthalmic applications where an appropriately configured retrobulbar needle is required.

Potential applications include:

• Ophthalmic surgery
• Eye surgery
• Ophthalmic anesthesia-related instrument setups
• Retrobulbar needle applications
• Professional ophthalmic clinical environments

Specific clinical use should be determined by a qualified ophthalmic professional according to the procedure and applicable clinical protocols.

23G Configuration

The 23G specification provides a fine-gauge needle configuration. This fixed gauge is the primary sizing characteristic supplied for the product.

The exact needle length and tip design should be confirmed from the manufacturer's product specifications where required.

Handling and Use Considerations

The needle should be handled carefully to protect the needle shaft and tip from bending or other damage. Before use, inspect the instrument for visible deformation, contamination, damage, or other abnormalities.

Use should follow applicable professional ophthalmic protocols and manufacturer instructions.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

If the product is intended for reusable processing, cleaning should follow the manufacturer's validated instructions and applicable healthcare-facility protocols.

If supplied as a single-use product, it should be managed according to the manufacturer's labeling and applicable medical-device procedures. Reusability has not been specified in the supplied information.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization requirements depend on the product configuration and manufacturer's validated instructions. The appropriate processing method should be confirmed from the applicable product documentation.

Before use, inspect the needle for tip integrity, shaft condition, cleanliness, and overall structural integrity.
