Description

The EPSILON USA Lens Implant Forceps & Injectors: Akahoshi Combo Prechopper Micro Knife 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 micro knife. The prechopper is used to divide the nucleus of the cataract into smaller fragments, making it easier to remove during the surgery. The micro knife is used to create precise incisions in the eye during the surgery. The instrument is named after the Japanese ophthalmologist, Dr. Yoshinori Akahoshi, who invented the prechopper technique in the 1990s. The Akahoshi Combo Prechopper Micro Knife is an essential tool for cataract surgeons, as it helps to ensure a successful and smooth procedure with minimal risk of complications. The instrument is made of stainless steel, which is durable and resistant to corrosion.
