Koch Stop and Chop Manipulator

The Koch Stop and Chop Manipulator is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument associated with the Stop and Chop technique used during cataract phacoemulsification. The instrument provides a dedicated secondary manipulator for controlled engagement and manipulation of the lens nucleus during the chopping phase of cataract surgery.

The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-9800. It is manufactured from German stainless steel, is listed as reusable, and is available with selectable size and surface-finish options for professional surgical use.

Koch Stop and Chop Instrument Pattern

The Koch pattern is specifically recognized within ophthalmic instrumentation as a Stop and Chop manipulator. This differentiates it from general hooks, spatulas, or orthopedic manipulators and places the instrument within cataract and phacoemulsification instrument sets.

The current Peak Surgicals page does not provide exact working-tip dimensions, shaft angle, shaft length, or overall instrument length. These specifications should therefore be confirmed before ordering when a particular Koch configuration is required.

Designed for the Stop and Chop Technique

The Koch Stop and Chop Manipulator pattern is designed to assist with the Stop and Chop cataract technique. Established ophthalmic instrument catalogs classify it as a lens manipulator used during phacoemulsification.

Instrument positioning and manipulation should be determined by the ophthalmic surgeon according to the cataract technique, nucleus characteristics, surgical access, and individual operative requirements.

Lens Nucleus Manipulation

Within the Stop and Chop technique, the manipulator serves as a secondary instrument for controlled engagement and movement of the lens nucleus while the surgeon performs nucleus division and phacoemulsification.

The exact tip geometry of Peak Surgicals model PS-9800 is not stated on the current product page, so dimensions published for other manufacturers' Koch manipulators should not be treated as specifications for this instrument.

Cataract and Phacoemulsification Application

The Koch Stop and Chop pattern belongs to the group of ophthalmic cataract manipulators and choppers. It can therefore be incorporated into cataract surgical instrument sets where the surgeon uses a Stop and Chop phaco technique.

The instrument is not an orthopedic manipulator despite the orthopedic wording currently appearing in the browser title of the Peak Surgicals page.

German Stainless Steel Construction

The current Peak Surgicals specification confirms German stainless steel construction. The metallic structure provides a reusable surgical instrument configuration suitable for controlled manual handling during professional procedures.

The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Eye hospitals, surgical centers, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific steel designation or supporting material documentation should confirm that information before ordering.

Reusable Ophthalmic Instrument

Peak Surgicals specifically identifies PS-9800 as reusable. Following clinical use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated procedures.

Particular attention should be given to the fine working end and shaft. Before reuse, the instrument should be inspected for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, or any other condition that could interfere with controlled manipulation.

Selectable Size Options

The live Peak Surgicals storefront includes a Size selector for the Koch Stop and Chop Manipulator.

However, the exact selectable dimensions are not exposed in the currently accessible product information. Buyers requiring a defined overall length, shaft length, shaft angle, or tip dimension should confirm the selected configuration before purchasing.

Satin, Dull and Mirror Finish Options

The current Peak Surgicals specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finish options. These surface choices allow buyers to select a finish appropriate for their existing surgical instrument inventory.

If a specific finish is required, the selected configuration should be confirmed when ordering.
