Thermal protection sleeve

tubularfor medical applicationssilicone

Product overview
Silicone Phaco Sleeve (also referred to as Silicone I/A tips) designed for use in phacoemulsification cataract procedures to provide controlled irrigation and aspiration. Produced by injection molding in an ISO Class 10000 cleanroom from medical-grade silicone, these sleeves are offered in multiple gauges and colours to match surgical technique and incision requirements.

Key benefits

• Medical-grade silicone material for biocompatibility
• Available in multiple gauges (19–23 G) and colours for easy identification
• Designed to maintain stable anterior chamber fluidics and improve fragment followability
• Protects incision from thermal transfer during phacoemulsification
• Customization options available to match specific surgical parameters
• Short lead times and logistics support for clinical supply

Application
Used as an irrigation/aspiration sleeve during cataract surgery to deliver irrigation fluid, support aspiration efficiency, stabilize the anterior chamber and assist followability of nuclear fragments. Compatible with standard phaco handpieces; selection of gauge and incision size should follow the surgeon's preferred technique.
