The Tennant Nucleus Manipulator Ball Tip is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for controlled manipulation and positioning of the lens nucleus during cataract surgery. Its smooth spherical ball tip allows gentle engagement of the nucleus while minimizing the risk of capsular damage or trauma to surrounding ocular structures.

This instrument enables surgeons to rotate, stabilize, or reposition the nucleus during phacoemulsification or manual extraction procedures. With an overall length of , this manipulator provides a defined profile for ophthalmic applications. The ergonomic design allows the working end to approach the nucleus from a specialized angle, supporting controlled manual manipulation during procedures.
