Dodick-Kammann Nucleus Chopper for Controlled Phacoemulsification

The Dodick-Kammann nucleus chopper is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed to support controlled nucleus division during cataract surgery. Its 4 5/8-inch straight shaft and 90-degree angled ball-shaped tip allow surgeons to engage and manipulate the nucleus with precision, while the round titanium handle offers a balanced, comfortable grip. With an overall length of 20.0 cm (8.0 inches), this chopper is well suited for operating room use in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics across the United States. The instrument is intended for trained ophthalmic surgeons and supports efficient, repeatable technique in phacoemulsification and related anterior segment procedures.

• Nucleus division and chopping during phacoemulsification
• Cataract surgery in hospital operating rooms and ASCs
• Anterior segment procedures requiring precise nuclear manipulation
• Routine and complex nucleus management in clinic-based surgical suites

Specifications
