Seibel Nucleus Chopper: Precision Angled Shaft for Cataract Surgery

The Seibel nucleus chopper is a specialized instrument designed for efficient cataract surgery, featuring a distinct 4.5-degree angled shaft that enhances maneuverability within the anterior chamber. With a precise 15.0mm measurement from bend to tip and a 0.5mm olive-shaped tip curve, this tool allows surgeons to perform controlled chopping maneuvers with minimal tissue trauma. The 5.0 cm (2-inch) overall length provides optimal reach while maintaining ergonomic handling during delicate procedures. This instrument is ideal for phacoemulsification techniques where precision and stability are paramount.

• Facilitating nuclear fragmentation during phacoemulsification cataract surgery
• Enabling precise chopping maneuvers in tight anterior chamber spaces
• Reducing ultrasound energy usage through mechanical nucleus division
• Providing stable counter-traction for safe lens material removal

Specifications

• Inspect the olive-shaped tip for wear or deformation before each use to ensure smooth operation
• Clean immediately after procedure using enzymatic detergents compatible with stainless steel instruments
• Sterilize via autoclave following manufacturer guidelines for reusable surgical tools
• Store in protective sleeves to prevent damage to the angled shaft and tip curvature
