Nucleus Chopper

Nucleus choppers mechanically split or sculpt the lens nucleus during cataract surgery, enabling shorter phaco times and reduced ultrasound energy. Their design provides efficient chopping in dense or brunescent cataracts where mechanical division is advantageous. They help the surgeon control nuclear fragments while maintaining chamber stability.
