5.4 PHACO (U/S) MODE
The Phaco (U/S) Mode is the basic mode used to remove cataracts by the use of ultrasonic
energy.
The ultrasonic energy is channeled into a hollow titanium tip attached to an Ultrasonic (Phaco)
Handpiece which causes the tip to vibrate at a specified frequency.
This tip vibration creates a jackhammer type effect which emulsifies the cataractous lens and
removes the debris through the hollow tip.
