Tip and technique modifications enhance biaxial phaco with torsional ultrasound

A new phaco tip (Fine Ozil Tip, MicroSurgical Technology) for use with a proprietary handpiece (Ozil, Alcon Laboratories) improves the safety and efficiency of phacoemulsification using torsional ultrasound with a biaxial microincisional technique. Modification of the phaco parameters improves chopping and segment removal.
