Shepard Iris Hook

1.25 mm tip & blade offset at 60 degree angle, round knurled handle, 4-1/2" (11.4 cm) Nagahara Nucleus Chopper is a commonly used tool in cataract extraction procedures. The chopper is used to divide the opacified nucleus into smaller pieces for eventual extraction. The instrument features a 1.25 mm tip with a 60 degree offset blade, aiding in visualization during incisions of lens tissue.

flat handle, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm) Green Strabismus hook is a commonly used instrument in performing procedures involving the ocular muscles. The hook can be used to elevate the muscle tissue for dissection and reattachment. The toe of the hook is designed to press against the sclera and "ski" along the surface until the full muscle width has been discerned.

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.

0.25 mm diameter, blunt tip, angled Harris-Sinskey Lens Manipulating Hook is a useful tool in cataract procedures. The hook may be used to maneuver lens tissue in order to facilitate extraction of the opacified tissue. The smaller diameter hook affords the surgeon increased control during the procedure. In addition, the blunt tip ensures minimal tissue damage or posterior capsule tear.
