Anodyne Surgical 0027S Rous Sub-Tenon / Parabulbar Needle - 19G x 25mm Curved Ophthalmic Cannula

Anodyne Surgical Rous Sub-Tenon Needle | 25G x 16mm | 0027S

The Anodyne Surgical 0027S is a specialized ophthalmic instrument developed by Dr. Stanley Rous to provide a safer, more predictable alternative to traditional retrobulbar anesthesia. Unlike standard straight cannulas, the Rous Needle features a gentle, anatomical curve designed to follow the natural curvature of the globe.

By utilizing an extra-sharp, curved profile (bevel-down), the 0027S allows for the direct-visualization delivery of anesthetic agents, steroids, or antibiotics into the sub-Tenon's space. This design significantly mitigates the risk of common blind-entry complications, such as optic nerve trauma, unintentional globe perforation, or retrobulbar hemorrhage.

Key Performance Features

• Anatomic Curved Profile: Specifically engineered to follow the globe's posterior contour, ensuring the anesthetic is delivered exactly where needed for effective akinesia and analgesia.

• Bevel-Down Configuration: The downward orientation of the bevel during insertion minimizes the risk of engaging the sclera or optic nerve, promoting a safer passage through the sub-Tenon's space.

• Extra-Sharp 25G Point: Provides the precision needed to penetrate the Tenon's capsule with minimal force, reducing tissue displacement and patient discomfort.

• Direct Visualization Support: The 16 mm (5/8") length is optimized for procedures where the clinician requires a clear view of the needle tip during the initial stages of anesthetic administration.

• Standard Luer Lock Hub: Ensures a universal, leak-proof connection to standard anesthesia syringes.
