Nagahara Nucleus Chopper 1.25mm tip left 2.5 cm (1")

Nagahara Nucleus Chopper with 1.25mm Tip and Left Curve

The Nagahara Nucleus Chopper is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for precise lens fragmentation during cataract surgery. Featuring a distinct 1.25mm tip and a left-curved shaft measuring 2.5 cm, this tool offers superior maneuverability in tight anterior chamber spaces. Its ergonomic design facilitates controlled chopping motions, reducing stress on the zonules and minimizing endothelial cell loss. Ideal for surgeons performing phacoemulsification, this chopper provides reliable performance in high-volume hospital settings, ambulatory surgery centers, and private clinics. The robust construction ensures durability while maintaining sharpness for consistent tissue interaction throughout complex procedures.

• Fragmenting dense nuclear cataracts during phacoemulsification
• Performing divide-and-conquer or stop-and-chop techniques
• Navigating limited anterior chamber depth in pediatric cases
• Reducing ultrasound energy exposure to protect corneal endothelium

Specifications

• Clean immediately after use to prevent protein buildup on the tip.
• Inspect the curved shaft for bending or deformation before sterilization.
• Store in a protective sleeve to avoid damage to the delicate tip.
