Titanium Akahoshi Pre-Chop FT5-1903C is a specialized surgical instrument used in ophthalmic surgery, specifically for a technique called “pre-chop phacoemulsification.”
During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). In the pre-chop technique, the surgeon uses the Titanium Akahoshi Pre-Chop FT5-1903C to divide the lens into smaller pieces before emulsifying and removing them with a phacoemulsification probe.
The instrument is designed with a sharp, curved tip that allows the surgeon to make precise incisions in the lens. The tip is also angled to help with the pre-chopping technique, which involves creating multiple smaller pieces of the lens rather than removing it all at once. The instrument is made of titanium, which makes it lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion.
Overall, the Titanium Akahoshi Pre-Chop FT5-1903C is an essential tool for ophthalmic surgeons performing cataract surgery using the pre-chop technique.
