The Rhein 05-2351 Koch-Salz Nucleus Splitter Forceps is a precision ophthalmic instrument crafted for the critical step of nucleus fragmentation during cataract surgery. With a compact 4-inch length and a titanium construction, it is engineered to pass easily through small corneal or clear-corneal phaco incisions and deliver optimal control when splitting the hardened lens nucleus. The slender shafts and ergonomic handle provide surgeons with tactile responsiveness and maneuverability in the confined operative field of the anterior chamber.

Designed specifically for phacoemulsification workflows, this instrument assists the surgeon in safely creating a controlled crack or split in the lens nucleus after hydrodissection or manual manipulation. By enabling efficient segmentation of the nucleus, the surgeon can more easily engage with phaco-handpiece probes or chops, thereby reducing overall energy delivered and potentially improving surgical outcomes. The titanium material ensures durability, corrosion resistance and reduces instrument weight—helping reduce fatigue during long operating lists.

From the standpoint of instrument logistics and clinical practice, the 05-2351 model stands out as a reusable, high-precision tool designed for dependable performance in cataract surgery suites. Its standard length and proven design make it a go-to option for surgeons requiring a dedicated nucleus splitting forceps. Proper sterilization, inspection of tip alignment, and maintenance of the titanium surface will help preserve its performance for many surgical cycles. In short, the Rhein Koch-Salz Nucleus Splitter Forceps offers a high-quality, purpose-built solution for efficient and effective nucleus management in modern ophthalmic procedures.
