We collected efficiency and chatter data for 30-degree bent 19 G, 20 G, and 21 G tips with a continuous torsional US system; and for straight 19 G, 20 G, and 21 G tips with a micropulse longitudinal US system.Results: The average time needed for removal was always higher for the 3.0 mm lens cube than for the 2.0 mm lens cube. Statistically significant differences were observed between the 19 G and 21 G tips with micropulse longitudinal US using a 2.0 mm cube and a 3.0 mm cube, and with continuous transversal US using a 2.0 mm lens cube and a 3.0 mm cube. We did not observe significant differences between 19 G and 20 G tips with either cube size in either US system. However, we noted identical trends for both cube sizes with both US approaches; 19 G tips performed better than 20 G and 21 G tips.Conclusion: Regardless of the lens size, 19 G needles were the most efficient, and had both the fewest outliers and the smallest standard deviations.Keywords: cataract, chatter, efficiency, tip diameter, vacuumRamshekar AHeczko JBernhisel ABarlow Jnr WZaugg BOlson RPettey JDove Medical Pressarticlecataractchatterefficiencytip diametervacuumOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4475-4484 (2021)
