The Escaf Punta Hibrida phaco tip is specifically designed to handle the challenges of ultra-dense, rock-hard nuclei. Its unique hybrid geometry combines a sharp, beveled edge with a specialized tip profile that excels at penetrating a dense nucleus and efficient sculpting. When dealing with a dense cataract, the priority is to create deep grooves to facilitate the subsequent cracking of the posterior plate.
The Punta Hibrida allows the surgeon to sculpt with high efficiency by focusing ultrasonic energy directly into the dense material while maintaining excellent fluidic stability. Because the tip provides superior bite into the leathery fibers of a brunescent lens, it reduces the risk of zonular stress during the sculpting phase. By carving a deep central trough, the surgeon can effectively weaken the structural integrity of the nucleus. This provides the necessary space for instruments to reach the base of the lens, ensuring a clean, complete separation of the nuclear halves without needing excessive vacuum or high-power bursts. Now the regular phaco tip with a wider bore can be placed on the phaco hand-piece and the case completed.
