Mackool Phaco Chopper: Precision Angled Instrument for Cataract Surgery

The Mackool phaco chopper is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed to enhance efficiency and safety during cataract surgery. Featuring a precise 45-degree angled shaft with a 10.0mm bend-to-tip length, this tool allows surgeons optimal access to the lens nucleus without obstructing visualization. The delicate 0.33mm ball-shaped tip minimizes tissue trauma while effectively splitting dense nuclear material. With a comfortable 5.0 cm (2-inch) handle, it provides excellent ergonomics for prolonged procedures. This instrument is ideal for high-volume clinics and hospitals seeking reliable, consistent performance in phacoemulsification techniques.

• Splitting dense or hard cataract nuclei during phacoemulsification
• Facilitating controlled nuclear rotation and manipulation
• Reducing ultrasound energy usage by pre-chopping lens material
• Improving surgical workflow in high-volume outpatient centers

Specifications

• Inspect the ball tip carefully before each use for any deformation or damage.
• Clean thoroughly according to manufacturer guidelines for reusable ophthalmic instruments.
• Sterilize using standard autoclave protocols compatible with stainless steel surgical tools.
• Store in a protective sleeve to prevent bending or tip contact with other instruments.

Specifications

Always verify compatibility with your specific phacoemulsification system and follow institutional sterilization protocols.
