The Eippert Spatula helps users accurately open primary and secondary incisions created by the femtosecond laser by offering double-ended sizing for greater versatility and blunt, thin tips to maintain the wound's proper architecture. The Solomon Femtosecond Chopper's footballshaped tip is designed specifically to chop fragmented nuclei. The LRI Enhancement Forceps, which have a 500-μm gauge to correct the incision's depth, can spread arcuate incisions pre- or postoperatively or during a slit-lamp examination.
