AMO Allergan SOV13474 Sovereign Phaco Handpiece

AMO Allergan SOV13474 Sovereign Phaco Handpiece | Reusable

The AMO Allergan SOV13474 is a high-precision, reusable piezoelectric phacoemulsification handpiece designed for use with the Sovereign® and Sovereign Compact™ cataract surgery systems. Engineered for efficiency and chamber stability, this handpiece translates ultrasonic energy into mechanical longitudinal vibrations to emulsify the crystalline lens with minimal power. Its robust, surgical-grade construction and ergonomic design provide surgeons with the tactile feedback and fluidic control necessary for complex cataract extractions.

The SOV13474 is a clinical staple for facilities utilizing WHITESTAR® technology, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for high-volume ophthalmic surgery through its durable, multi-cycle reusable design.

Key Specifications

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Fluidics: Designed to work in tandem with AMO's advanced fluidics modules to maintain a stable anterior chamber, even at higher vacuum settings.

• Ultrasonic Efficiency: The internal piezoelectric crystals are tuned to deliver consistent stroke length, ensuring effective lens fragmentation while minimizing heat generation.

• Ergonomic Profile: The lightweight, slim-body design reduces hand fatigue during long surgical days and allows for precise maneuvering through small incisions.

• Durability & Reusability: Built to withstand repeated sterilization cycles (Autoclave/Pre-vac) when maintained according to manufacturer IFU (Instructions for Use).

• Smooth Tissue Passage: The high-polish finish of the handpiece body ensures minimal friction at the incision site, promoting faster wound healing.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Condition (Signs of Prior Use).

• Physical Integrity: This handpiece shows visible signs of wear consistent with clinical use, such as minor surface scuffs or engraving wear. The threaded tip interface and electrical pins are intact and functional.

• Maintenance Recommendation: As a Used-SI (Surgical Instrument), it is recommended that this unit be professionally inspected and "tuned" to your specific console prior to clinical use to ensure peak ultrasonic frequency alignment.

• Cleaning Warning: Never clean this handpiece in an ultrasonic cleaner, as it will damage the internal piezoelectric crystals. Always flush with 60cc of sterile distilled water immediately after use to prevent BSS (Balanced Salt Solution) crystallization.

Shipping & Handling

• Protective Packaging: Shipped in a secure, padded container to protect the delicate internal crystals and electrical connector from shock during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
