Stainless Steel Ophthalmic Phaco Chopper Ball Tips 0.7mm Inferior Wedge

The Stainless Steel Ophthalmic Phaco Chopper Ball Tips (0.7mm Inferior Wedge) is a specialized microsurgical instrument used in phacoemulsification cataract surgery. It is designed to assist in nucleus disassembly and chopping during the procedure Key Features: Material: Made of high-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight handling. Tip Design: 0.7mm Ball Tip – Provides smooth engagement with the lens nucleus, reducing the risk of capsular damage. Inferior Wedge Shape – Enhances chopping efficiency by allowing controlled splitting of the cataractous lens. Ergonomic Handle: Ensures a secure grip for precise maneuvering during surgery. Single-Use or Reusable Options: Depending on the model, it may be sterilizable for repeated use or designed for single-procedure application. Clinical Applications: Used in phaco chop techniques (horizontal or vertical chopping) to fragment the nucleus. Helps in dividing dense cataracts with minimal stress on the zonules and capsular bag. Compatible with micro-incision cataract surgery (MICS) due to its fine tip. Advantages: ✔ Precision – The 0.7mm ball tip allows controlled manipulation. ✔ Safety – Minimizes trauma to surrounding ocular structures. ✔ Efficiency – The wedge design improves nucleus segmentation. This instrument is commonly used by ophthalmic surgeons for advanced cataract removal techniques, ensuring smoother and safer lens extraction.

• The spherical ball at the terminus of the instrument is designed to be atraumatic.
• Its smooth, rounded surface helps to gently and safely manipulate the lens capsule and nucleus without puncturing or tearing delicate ocular tissues.
• Provides a broad, safe surface area for engaging and mobilizing lens fragments.
• This is the primary "chopping" element of the instrument.
• Located on the underside (inferior aspect) of the tip, just behind the ball.
• This sharp, angled ledge is designed to engage and crack the hardened nucleus of the cataract during phaco chop techniques (e.g., stop-and-chop).
• The wedge creates a fracture point from which the nucleus can be split into smaller, manageable pieces.
• Atraumatic Manipulation & Rotation: Using the ball tip.
• Precise Fracturing & Chopping: Using the inferior wedge.
