Drysdale Nucleus Manipulator – 4 3/8" Angled Shaft, 10.0 mm from Bend to Tip, Flattened Paddle-Shape, 20.0 cm (8.0")

The Drysdale nucleus manipulator is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for precise maneuvering and manipulation of the crystalline lens nucleus during cataract surgery. Its 4 3/8-inch angled shaft and flattened paddle-shaped tip provide controlled access within the anterior chamber, while the 10.0 mm distance from bend to tip offers optimal reach for phacoemulsification and nucleus management. The 20.0 cm overall length ensures a comfortable grip and balanced handling in the operating room. Ideal for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and clinics, this instrument supports efficient, safe nucleus manipulation in routine and complex cataract procedures.

• Manipulating and rotating the lens nucleus during phacoemulsification
• Facilitating nucleus disassembly and chopping techniques
• Positioning nuclear fragments for efficient aspiration
• Assisting in cortex removal and polish in cataract surgery
• Use in anterior segment procedures requiring precise tissue manipulation

Specifications

• Clean and sterilize according to standard protocols for reusable ophthalmic instruments.
• Inspect tip and shaft for damage before each use; discard if bent or worn.
• Store in a protected case to prevent tip deformation.
