Akahoshi Hybrid Combo prechopper (AE-4286)
For Grades 1-4 Nuclei. Groove enables easy rotation of the Nuclei during prechopping. Nuclei of these grades can be easily divided using the Karate Prechop technique. Using the technique the nucleus is prechopped into 4 or more sections before introducing the phaco handpiece. Harder nuclei or nuclei with weak cillary zonules should be prechopped very carefully, supported with a nucleus sustainer to reduce the stress on the cillary zonules. With the phaco prechop technique, ultrasound time is reduced to less than 50% of that required with the conventional grooving method. Because the nucleus is divided beforehand, the movement of the phaco tips is minimized. Mechanical and thermal damage to the wound is consequently reduced. Designed for small incision surgery, prechopper opens to a maximum of 3.0mm at the site of incision.
