D&K Barrett nucleus divider & chopper 4 3/4 double-ended angled 45°" shafts 14.0mm from bend to 10.0 cm (4")

D&K Barrett Nucleus Divider and Chopper

The D&K Barrett nucleus divider and chopper is a precision instrument designed for efficient lens fragmentation during cataract surgery. This double-ended tool features angled shafts at 45 degrees, providing optimal access and control within the anterior chamber. With a specific geometry of 14.0mm from bend to tip, it allows surgeons to manipulate nuclear fragments with accuracy. The design facilitates effective chopping techniques, reducing stress on the zonules and corneal endothelium. Ideal for high-volume ophthalmic practices, this instrument combines durability with ergonomic handling to enhance surgical workflow and patient outcomes in modern operating rooms.

• Fragmenting dense nuclear cataracts during phacoemulsification procedures
• Performing divide-and-conquer or stop-and-chop techniques
• Manipulating lens material within the capsular bag
• Reducing ultrasound energy requirements by mechanical pre-fragmentation
