Phacoemulsification system (An assembly of ophthalmic devices intended to deliver energy (e.g., ultrasonic, piezoelectric) through a dedicated handpiece tip, which is introduced through an incision made in the lens capsule, to perform phacoemulsification (a procedure for the liquefaction and removal of the opaque lens nucleus in cataract surgery).
