An irrigating cystotome with a straight 27ga shaft and 16mm (5/8 inch) reach, this instrument prepares the anterior capsule for capsulorhexis or can‑opener capsulotomy. Balanced salt solution flows through the lumen while the bent tip scores and tears the capsule, maintaining chamber depth throughout the maneuver. The fine gauge limits stroma disruption at the entry wound.
Features & Benefits
- 27ga lumen sustains chamber during capsulotomy
- Straight 16mm shaft suits standard phaco geometry
- Sharpened tip initiates and propagates the tear
- Single‑use format avoids tip dulling between cases
