The Drysdale Nucleus Manipulator is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument used for controlled manipulation of the lens nucleus during cataract and phacoemulsification procedures. The Drysdale pattern belongs to the group of fine intraocular manipulators used when the surgeon needs to position, rotate, separate, or otherwise control the lens nucleus during cataract surgery.
The current Peak Surgicals product is identified as SKU PS-9815. Peak Surgicals specifies German stainless steel, reusable construction, selectable size options, and satin, dull, or mirror finish options for this instrument.
The internationally recognized instrument name is Drysdale Nucleus Manipulator. Established ophthalmic instrument manufacturers classify the Drysdale pattern specifically as an ophthalmic nucleus manipulator used in cataract and phaco surgical sets.
The current Peak Surgicals page uses the spelling “Rysdale,” but the established surgical instrument terminology uses “Drysdale.” Using the standardized spelling improves product identification for ophthalmologists, cataract surgeons, distributors, and procurement teams searching for this pattern.
The Drysdale pattern is designed for controlled manipulation of the lens nucleus during cataract surgery. Depending on the surgeon’s technique and stage of the procedure, a nucleus manipulator may be used to position, rotate, separate, or stabilize portions of the nucleus.
The specific method of manipulation should be determined by the ophthalmic surgeon according to the cataract technique, nucleus condition, and operative requirements.
Drysdale Nucleus Manipulators are established within phacoemulsification and cataract surgery instrument sets. The instrument is used as a fine manual manipulator during procedures involving division and management of the crystalline lens nucleus.
Peak Surgicals also lists PS-9815 within its Ophthalmology Instruments collection, which supports classification of this product as an ophthalmic rather than orthopedic instrument.
A nucleus manipulator requires a fine working profile because it is used within the anterior segment of the eye. The Drysdale pattern provides a dedicated ophthalmic configuration rather than functioning as a general-purpose hook or surgical probe.
The current Peak Surgicals page does not specify the exact tip width, tip thickness, tip angle, shaft dimensions, or overall instrument length for PS-9815. These measurements should therefore be confirmed before ordering if a specific surgical configuration is required.
The current Peak Surgicals specification identifies German stainless steel as the material used for PS-9815. The metallic construction provides the rigid structure required for controlled manual ophthalmic manipulation.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Eye hospitals, surgical centers, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a particular material grade or supporting documentation should confirm that specification before ordering.
Peak Surgicals specifically lists the instrument as reusable. It is therefore intended for repeated professional use when appropriately 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 subsequent use, the instrument should be inspected for bending, tip damage, corrosion, retained contamination, or other visible changes that could affect normal function.
The live Peak Surgicals storefront includes a Size selector for PS-9815, indicating that selectable configurations are available.
The exact selectable size values are not exposed in the currently accessible product information. For this reason, no overall length or tip dimension from another manufacturer’s Drysdale instrument should be assumed to apply to this Peak Surgicals model.
The current Peak Surgicals specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finish options. Buyers requiring a particular surface finish should confirm their selected configuration when placing an order.
The finish selection should be distinguished from working-tip geometry and overall instrument dimensions, which are not specified on the current page.
