Instrumentation for superior cortex removal

A recently developed aspiration tip and suction distributor for use in
cataract surgery allow two-handed aspiration of the residual cortex lentis
through the two incisions used in two-handed phacoemulsification. The
instruments also facilitate removal of the cortex lentis at the 12 o'clock
position, which is sometimes difficult to aspirate with an
irrigation-aspiration tip only.
