Sinskey-Cornic Lens Manipulator

Description

Sinskey-Cornic Lens Manipulator

The Sinskey-Cornic lens manipulator is a 13 cm variant of the familiar Sinskey hook. It helps position an intraocular lens and move lens material during cataract surgery. The longer handle gives a calm, balanced feel in the hand.

How the Cornic variant relates to the Sinskey

The classic Sinskey has a fine angled shaft and a small hook at the end. This version keeps that idea but changes the tip detail. Check the photo to see the exact tip form before you add it to your tray.

Dialing a lens into the bag

After the lens unfolds, the hook can catch the edge of the optic or a haptic. Then a small turn guides it into place. In practice, gentle steps work better than one large move.

Benefits of the 13 cm build

The longer handle helps in several ways:

• More room for your fingers to roll the tool
• Better balance during slow rotation
• A grip that suits larger hands

One Cornic tool, two stages

Early in the case, the second hand may need to nudge lens matter toward the tip. Later, the same tool can center the new lens. So one Cornic manipulator can cover both stages on a lean tray.

Inspecting the tiny hook

A bent hook can snag the capsule. So inspect the tip under magnification after each case. Also clean it with a soft brush, never with a hard pad, since rough cleaning can blunt fine detail.

Order details for this Sinskey variant

Since the Cornic manipulator ships unsterile, put the hook through cleaning and a sterilizing cycle before its first lens case; it stays usable after every proper cycle. The Cornic body is stainless that meets ASTM F899. This Cornic hook has our warranty for three years against manufacturing defects.
