Agarwal Karate Phaco Chopper

Angled shaft, semi-sharp wedge shaped inferior edge, pointed tip

This instrument features a short tip with a semi-sharp edge. It is used for karate chopping of hard and soft cataracts in preparation for phacoemulsification. Dr. Agarwal states that "using this method of chopping the nucleus, effectively reduces the ultrasound time." The chopper is designed to fit easily through a standard paracentesis.
