  • Bidirectional Phacoemulsification Needle Tips for Torsional and Longitudinal Motion
    Publication number: 20090099536

  • Linear to Torsional Converter for Phaco Handpieces
    Publication number: 20090082716
    Abstract: A linear-to-torsional converter changes the linear motion imparted by a phaco handpiece to torsional or rotational motion. The converter attaches to the needle mount of a conventional linear handpiece. A lock can be used to defeat the torsional motion and restore linear motion without requiring the converter to be removed from the handpiece. Alternatively the converter can be built into a handpiece.
