Description

The BARRETT PHACO-AXE is a precision-engineered, reusable ophthalmic surgical instrument crafted from high-quality titanium. Designed by Duckworth & Kent, this dual-ended tool is essential for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of phacoemulsification cataract surgery.

Key Features

• Phaco-Axe End
  The phaco-axe end features a wedge-shaped tip measuring 0.75 x 0.75 mm, with a shaft angled at 45°. This design allows for a quick vertical crack of the lens nucleus, facilitating precise cataract removal with reduced energy compared to conventional techniques. It is ideally suited for right-handed surgeons, intended for use through the left side port.

• Manipulator End
  The opposite end functions as a manipulator, equipped with a highly polished mushroom rotator. With a diameter of 0.65 mm and a similar 45° shaft angle, it excels in manipulating epinuclear material within the capsulorhexis margins.
