Description of a hemostatic eraser:
The XXX is a *20G* handheld Bipolar Hemostatic Eraser that combines diathermy, passive and active aspiration, as well as reflux of intraocular fluids, through a *23G* variable length (0 to 18mm) extrudable soft cannula/brush. It is available with a straight, or with a curved (135°), cannula.
Sorry, but what does the G stand for? Grammes? But why would the cannula be heavier than the rest of the device?
Thanks!

In German it is invariable:
Die dünnwandigen Kanülen erlauben den Einsatz kleinerer, und somit komfortablerer, Gauge-Größen mit größeren Durchflußraten.
