The 4.4″ Koch Stop & Chop Manipulator with 1.5mm Tip is a specialized ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled nucleus manipulation during compatible phacoemulsification procedures. Its Koch pattern and dedicated 1.5mm working tip provide a defined configuration for delicate cataract surgery applications.
A stop and chop manipulator is designed to support controlled engagement and manipulation of the lens nucleus as part of an appropriate phacoemulsification technique. The instrument allows precise manual handling within the anterior segment while maintaining a focused working profile. The 1.5mm tip specification provides a clearly defined tip size for applications requiring a compact working end.
With an overall length of 4.4 inches, the instrument provides a practical size for controlled handling in ophthalmic microsurgery. Its specialized configuration makes it suitable for inclusion in cataract surgery trays, phacoemulsification sets, and ophthalmic microsurgical instrument collections. Exact tip geometry, shaft configuration, handle design, and working-end angle are not specified in the product title and should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s specifications.
The Koch Stop & Chop Manipulator is designed for fine manual control and accurate positioning. Its working tip should maintain its intended shape and surface condition to support consistent instrument performance. Before use, the instrument should be inspected carefully for bending, deformation, corrosion, surface irregularities, or other damage that could affect its function in delicate ophthalmic applications.
Manufactured from surgical-grade instrument material, this manipulator is designed for durability and dependable professional use. The 1.5mm tip provides a defined working dimension while the 4.4-inch overall length supports controlled instrument handling. The combination makes it a practical component for ophthalmic surgical sets where specialized phaco manipulation instruments are required.
For reusable configurations, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to validated manufacturer instructions and established healthcare facility protocols. Particular attention should be given to the fine working tip during cleaning and inspection. Reusability and sterilization compatibility depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling.
The 4.4″ Koch Stop & Chop Manipulator with 1.5mm Tip offers a specialized solution for ophthalmic professionals requiring controlled nucleus manipulation during compatible phacoemulsification procedures. Its defined Koch configuration, 1.5mm tip, and 4.4-inch length make it a useful addition to professional cataract surgery and microsurgical instrument sets.
