Product Overview
The 554095 Koch Phaco Spatula is a hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical instrument characterized by its specialized low-profile angled spatula tip, hand-polished atraumatic smooth edges, and a rigid, balanced handle. Engineered to operate with fluid predictability under high-magnification surgical microscopes, this instrument serves as the surgeon’s essential “second hand” through the side-port incision. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the micro-machined, gently curved forward blade is explicitly designed to manipulate the lens nucleus within the capsular bag. This allows the operator to safely rotate the cataract, stabilize quadrants during phaco-chop maneuvers, and push back the iris or posterior capsule without risking capsule rupture or zonular stress.
Key Features
-
Atraumatic Hand-Polished Spatula Tip: Features a micro-planed, duckbill-style flat spatula head with entirely rounded, non-cutting margins. This protective geometry allows the blade to press against or slide under the crystalline lens safely without scratching the capsule or tearing adjacent iris tissue.
-
Optimized Side-Port Angle: The forward spatula head is engineered with a deliberate, calibrated angle relative to the shaft axis. This alignment facilitates an optimal approach vector through 1.0mm to 1.2mm paracentesis incisions, letting the operator work comfortably parallel to the iris plane.
-
Ultra-Slender Micro-Incision Shaft: The forward shaft features an exceptionally low-gauge, streamlined profile. This minimalist structural volume ensures maximum field visibility and prevents incision stretching or “oarlocking” during multi-axis maneuvers.
-
Exceptional Tactile Feedback: The micro-calibrated rigidity of the instrument shaft transmits ultra-fine changes in nuclear resistance directly to the operator, allowing for precise force adjustments when manipulating dense or brittle nuclear fragments.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise blade curvature, seamless surface fluidics, and structural alignment through thousands of high-heat autoclave sterilization cycles.
