Asico AE-4270N Kraff Nucleus Splitter Ophthalmology 4-1/4"

Asico AE-4270N Kraff Nucleus Splitter

The Asico AE-4270N is a precision ophthalmic instrument designed for the efficient fragmentation of the lens nucleus during cataract surgery. Featuring a specialized cross-action handle, this splitter allows the surgeon to apply outward mechanical force within the nuclear trench with extreme control. This action effectively divides the nucleus into smaller quadrants, facilitating safer and faster aspiration during phacoemulsification.

Constructed from high-grade German stainless steel, the AE-4270N is built to maintain perfect jaw alignment through thousands of procedures. The outer jaws are serrated (cross-checked) to provide a non-slip grip on the lens material, ensuring that the splitting force is directed exactly where intended without "skidding" off the nucleus.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Asico

• Model Number: AE-4270N (Kraff Style)

• Action: Cross-Action (Squeeze to open jaws)

• Jaw Design: Straight with cross-checked outer surfaces

• Material: Premium German Stainless Steel

• Overall Length: 4 inches (102mm)

• Handle: Spring-loaded with tactile grip ridges

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Endothelial Protection: By mechanically splitting the nucleus, the AE-4270N reduces the total phacoemulsification time required, minimizing heat and ultrasonic trauma to the eye.

• Ergonomic "Natural" Control: The cross-action mechanism provides a counter-intuitive but highly stable leverage point, reducing hand fatigue during complex or dense cataract cases.

• High Tactile Feedback: The spring-loaded handle is calibrated to provide the surgeon with immediate feedback on the density and resistance of the nucleus.

• Reprocessing Durability: Designed as a high-utilization reusable tool, it withstands repeated autoclave cycles while maintaining the "snappy" response of the spring mechanism.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Status: Mechanically tested. The cross-action spring is responsive, and the jaws are perfectly aligned with no "overlap" or bending.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of wear consistent with professional surgical use, including minor surface scuffs or typical sterilization patina.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated ophthalmic protocols prior to clinical use.
