Jaffe-Maltzman Lens Manipulating Hook

push-pull pattern, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Kuglen Iris Hook & Lens Manipulator is a multipurpose tool used in a variety of cataract procedures. The rounded button end is delicate enough to retract iris tissue to expose the anterior capsule of the lens. In addition, the instrument can be used to maneuver the lens into an ideal position for retraction. Both straight and angled models are available depending on physician preference.

straight shaft, 0.5 mm hook, blunt, 4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Kuglen Iris Hook & Lens Manipulator is a unique tool in cataract procedures. The tool may be used to pull the delicate iris tissue to expose the deeper lens capsule. In addition, the instrument is also meant to maneuver the native lens into a desirable position of phacoemulsification.

0.75 mm hook, angled, 4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Hirschman Iris Hook is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures and operations needing access to the lens capsule. The 0.75mm hook provides fine control while retracting only a selected portion of iris tissue. A blunted tip assures minimal tissue damage to the surrounding globe.

9.0 mm shaft, 90 degrees angled 2.0 mm tip, curved, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Lewicky Lens Manipulating Hook is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures. The hook is used to manipulate the opacified native lens during a phacoemulsification procedure. The extended length of the hook combined with the angled tip minimizes surgical obstruction during the procedure.
