Polishing the Capsule with a Polymer I/A Tip
David Allen, MD, demonstrates the use of a disposable, low-friction, polymer I/A tip (Alcon, Forth Worth, TX) to remove cortical material and safely polish the capsule. The bent configuration of this instrument facilitates subincisional cortex removal.

I have never broken a capsule with the silicone tip... it is very capsule friendly... I was able to break a capsule on my fourth use of the polymer tip when going after sub-incisional cortex. It is much stiffer than the silicone tip and much less forgiving.
nice video.
