Abstract
A cannula ingress system may include a tip stabilization mechanism having a tip stabilization mechanism distal end and a tip stabilization mechanism proximal end, a fixation mechanism, a hypodermic tube having a hypodermic tube distal end and a hypodermic tube proximal end, and a tip having a tip distal end and a tip proximal end. The tip may be disposed within the hypodermic tube wherein the tip distal end extends from the hypodermic tube distal end. The fixation mechanism may be disposed within a fixation mechanism channel of the tip stabilization mechanism. The tip stabilization mechanism may be disposed over the tip and the hypodermic tube distal end.

A system comprising:
- a hypodermic tube having a hypodermic tube distal end and a hypodermic tube proximal end, the hypodermic tube having dimensions configured for performing ophthalmic surgery;
- a tip having a tip distal end and a tip proximal end wherein the tip proximal end is disposed within the hypodermic tube and the tip distal end extends out from the hypodermic tube distal end;
- a tip stabilization mechanism having a tip stabilization mechanism distal end and a tip stabilization mechanism proximal end;
- and
- a fixation mechanism disposed in a fixation mechanism channel of the tip stabilization mechanism wherein the tip distal end and the hypodermic tube distal end are disposed within an inner bore of the tip stabilization mechanism and the fixation mechanism is configured to temporarily fix the tip stabilization mechanism in a position relative to the hypodermic tube.
