5.5 Seibel Nucleus Chopper RH DE

The 5.5″ Seibel Nucleus Chopper RH DE is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument used during cataract surgery to assist with controlled lens nucleus chopping and manipulation. Designed for phacoemulsification workflows, this instrument helps surgeons divide the nucleus into manageable fragments for easier removal. The Seibel chopper pattern is valued for its controlled chopping geometry and surgical precision. Its working end is designed to engage the lens nucleus while supporting smooth movement inside the anterior chamber. The right-handed orientation makes the instrument suitable for surgeons who prefer right-hand control during cataract procedures. The dual-ended design provides added versatility by combining a nucleus chopper on one end with a companion manipulation end on the opposite side. This allows the surgeon to perform nucleus division, rotation, stabilization, and fragment manipulation using one balanced instrument. With a 5.5-inch overall length , the instrument offers a practical balance between reach, control, and tactile feedback under the surgical microscope. The handle is designed for secure grip and precise control during delicate intraocular maneuvers. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is reusable, autoclavable, and suitable for repeated ophthalmic surgical use when cleaned and sterilized according to approved facility protocols. A smooth satin finish helps reduce glare under microscope illumination, supporting better visibility during surgery. This instrument is intended only for trained ophthalmic surgeons and qualified surgical professionals.
