Prechoppers

Ophthalmic prechoppers are specialized instruments used in cataract surgery to mechanically split the lens nucleus before phacoemulsification. Designed for anterior segment procedures, prechoppers enable controlled, efficient nuclear division, reducing ultrasound energy usage and minimizing corneal endothelial trauma. Available in various stainless steel designs, prechoppers are manufactured for ergonomic handling, precision, and durability, supporting safer and faster cataract procedures.
