Description

The Western Phaco Chop with 1mm sharp tip is a specialized surgical instrument used in cataract surgery. It is designed to facilitate the “phaco chop” technique, which involves dividing the cataract into smaller pieces for easier removal. The chopper has a long, slender shaft with a sharp, angled tip that can be used to crack the cataract, while the opposing instrument (usually a phacoemulsification probe) is used to suction out the fragmented pieces. The 1mm tip size allows for precise and controlled chopping, making the procedure faster and more efficient. The instrument is made of high-quality stainless steel for durability and ease of sterilization.
