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.

0.5 mm hook, 4-7/8" (12.4 cm) Knolle Iris Hook is a commonly used tool in cataract surgeries. The hook is used to retract a portion of the iris tissue to gain access to the lens capsule. Often, multiple hooks are used at different positions around the iris and anchored, providing adequate visualization for lens removal. The Knolle hook has a slender tip for more selective retraction while featuring a serrated handle for an improved grip.

10.0 mm shaft w/ 0.2 mm t-shaped hook, 4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Fenzel Lens Manipulator is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures.

Both straight and angled models are available depending on surgical preference.

angled shaft w/ 1.5 mm tip, 4-1/3" (11.2 cm) Koch Stop & Chop Manipulator is a tool used exclusively for cataract procedures. The manipulator is used to facilitate the stop and chop technique, in which the lens nucleus is initially sculpted and then chopped into smaller pieces for extraction. The angled shaft aids in accessing the lens capsule.
