The Welsh cortex extractor is a spatula-tipped instrument for safe subincisional cortical cleanup during phacoemulsification. Its 45-degree angled shaft positions naturally in the surgical plane, while the flat olive tip allows gentle aspiration of residual cortical material from the 6 o'clock position without engaging the capsule. The 25ga profile supports fine tactile feedback.
