Sweeney Nucleus Manipulator and Cracker: 4.5-Degree Angled Shaft with Flat Paddle Tip

The Sweeney nucleus manipulator and cracker is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for precise lens manipulation during cataract surgery. Featuring a 4.5-degree angled shaft, this tool provides optimal ergonomic access to the anterior chamber while minimizing corneal distortion. The flat paddle-type tip, measuring 10.0mm from bend to tip, allows surgeons to effectively crack and rotate hard nuclei without excessive force. This design enhances control and stability, making it an essential asset in modern operating rooms where precision and patient safety are paramount.

• Cracking dense or hard cataract nuclei during phacoemulsification procedures.
• Rotating and manipulating the lens nucleus within the capsular bag.
• Providing counter-traction to stabilize the lens during surgical maneuvers.
• Facilitating safe dissection of adhesions between the iris and lens.

Specifications
