Rhein 05-2351 Koch Salz Nucleus Splitter Forceps Ophthamology 4"

Rhein 05-2351 Titanium Koch-Salz Nucleus Splitter Forceps

The Rhein 05-2351 is a high-precision ophthalmic instrument designed for the controlled fragmentation of the lens nucleus during cataract surgery. Specifically engineered for the Koch-Salz technique, these forceps feature a cross-action mechanism and an angled shaft, allowing for effortless insertion through small clear-corneal incisions.

Constructed from premium Titanium, this instrument is significantly lighter than stainless steel, providing the surgeon with superior tactile feedback and reduced hand fatigue during high-volume surgical days. The titanium build also ensures the forceps are non-magnetic and highly resistant to the corrosive effects of repeated sterilization cycles.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Rhein Medical

• Model Number: 05-2351

• Material: Medical-grade Titanium (Lightweight & Non-Magnetic)

• Mechanism: Cross-Action (Squeeze to open)

• Shaft Style: Angled for optimal anterior chamber access

• Handle: Ergonomic Round Handle for 360° rotational control

• Overall Length: 4 inches (10.2 cm)

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Superior Nucleus Management: The cross-action design provides the mechanical advantage needed to split even dense, "brunescent" nuclei, reducing the amount of phacoemulsification energy required.

• Small Incision Compatibility: The slender, angled shafts are designed to navigate through 2.2mm to 2.8mm incisions without inducing corneal torque or "oar-locking."

• Enhanced Tactile Sensitivity: Titanium's unique strength-to-weight ratio allows the surgeon to "feel" the density of the nucleus and the completion of the crack through the instrument's handle.

• Long-Term Durability: Unlike stainless steel, Rhein Titanium instruments do not develop a "memory" in the spring mechanism, ensuring the tips remain perfectly aligned over hundreds of surgical cycles.

Condition

• Status: Excellent Condition.

• Functional Status: Slightly used or never used. The cross-action spring is responsive, and the splitting tips meet with perfect precision.

• Cosmetic Status: Pristine. The titanium surface shows no significant wear, scratches, or sterilization staining.

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

Warranty

• ✔ Primis "Optical Precision" Guarantee

  We guarantee the Rhein 05-2351 is in like-new condition. If the tips are misaligned or the cross-action mechanism is stiff upon arrival, Primis Medical will provide a full refund or replacement.
