Description

The EPSILON USA Lens Implant Forceps & Injectors: Akahoshi Combo Prechopper Cionni-Silvetti Type is a surgical instrument commonly used in ophthalmic procedures, particularly in cataract surgery. This instrument is a combination of two devices: a prechopper and a lens implant injector. The prechopper is used to divide the nucleus of the cataract into smaller fragments, making it easier to remove during the surgery. The injector is used to insert the intraocular lens (IOL) into the eye once the cataract has been removed. The instrument is named after the Japanese ophthalmologist, Dr. Yoshinori Akahoshi, who invented the prechopper technique in the 1990s. The Cionni-Silvetti type refers to the design of the IOL injector, which was developed by two American ophthalmologists, Dr. David Cionni and Dr. Giancarlo Silvetti. The instrument is made of stainless steel, which is durable and resistant to corrosion. The Akahoshi Combo Prechopper Cionni-Silvetti Type is an essential tool for cataract surgeons, as it helps to ensure a successful and smooth procedure with minimal risk of complications.
