Best-in-Class
Akahoshi Combo Prechopper
Item #: K5-7232
Brand: Katena
For cracking, dividing and rotating both hard and soft nuclei without sculpting
This instrument was designed to enable the surgeon to perform the Akahoshi Phaco PreChop Technique on both soft and hard nuclei. It features a paddle shaped tip which has broad, blunt edges on one side and thin, blunt edges on the opposite side which merge at the tip to create a penetrating point. The broad edges are used to completely divide a soft nucleus without harming the posterior capsule while the pointed tip and thin edges are used to penetrate and split a hard nucleus. The unique cross-action mechanism allows the jaws to fully open for cracking without stretching the incision.
