Clayman Iris Hook

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.

0.5 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.

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.

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.
