Description
The Cortex Extractor is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for the removal of residual cortical material during cataract surgery. Used after nucleus extraction, it enables controlled aspiration of soft lens cortex from the capsular bag while maintaining anterior chamber stability.
Commonly utilized in manual small incision cataract surgery (SICS) and extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), the Cortex Extractor allows precise cortical clean-up to reduce the risk of postoperative inflammation and posterior capsular opacification (PCO). It typically features a fine port with smooth edges to ensure effective suction and atraumatic intraocular handling.
Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel and compatible with syringe-based aspiration systems or tubing, the Cortex Extractor provides reliable fluid control and efficient cortical removal.
