The Clayman-Jaffe Lens Manipulating Hook is a precision ophthalmic instrument designed for use in cataract surgery, particularly during phacoemulsification procedures. Measuring 4-3/4 inches (12.0 cm) in length, it features a 9.0 mm shaft with a fine 0.2 mm hook angled at 45 degrees, allowing for accurate and controlled lens manipulation within the eye. The angled hook is specifically engineered to reposition and stabilize the opacified natural lens, helping surgeons achieve optimal alignment for efficient fragmentation and removal. Its delicate design enhances maneuverability while minimizing tissue trauma, making it an essential tool for precise cataract extraction and anterior segment surgery.
