Ophthalmic Prechoppers

Bausch Global offers specialized custom ophthalmic prechoppers engineered for the mechanical pre-division of the lens nucleus prior to phacoemulsification during cataract surgery. Our prechoppers help reduce ultrasound energy requirements and improve surgical efficiency.

Each prechopper is precision-manufactured from surgical stainless steel with sharp, precisely angled cutting blades designed for clean nucleus bisection. The self-opening design allows consistent, reproducible nuclear division with a single instrument pass.

Bausch Global provides prechoppers in various blade configurations and sizes to accommodate different nuclear densities and surgical techniques. Custom blade angles and handle styles are available for personalized surgical performance.
