easyPhaco technology is developed for safe and efficient phacoemulsification. Oertli uses the benefits of fluidics based on physics to control flow and vacuum with the aim to achieve smooth followability and high holdability. Due to longitudinal tip movements, the occluded fragments absorb the ultrasound energy and are then efficiently aspirated. A stable anterior chamber is facilitated by an infusion capacity that is seven times higher than the outflow capacity, which helps to maintain a stable intraocular pressure.
How easyPhaco works in practice
How easyPhaco works in theory

Direct fragment followability
The high vacuum setting and the wide infusion path of the easyTips create a direct flow to the tip. This results in a magnet-like attraction of the fragments.

Strong fragment holdability
The easyTip’s unique bevel of the tip opening has been designed to hold fragments firmly at the tip. Thanks to the high vacuum created, fragments are no longer repelled.

U/S energy absorbed by the occluded fragments
Thanks to the strong holdability and the longitudinal movements of the easyTips, ultrasound is axially directed to the occluded fragments.

Smooth fragment aspiration
Following an occlusion break, the capillary aspiration path of the easyTips provides continuous aspiration. The high vacuum setting prevents clogging, and fragments are smoothly aspirated.

Stable anterior chamber
A stable anterior chamber is facilitated by an infusion capacity that is seven times higher than the outflow capacity, which helps to maintain a stable intraocular pressure.

Handpiece & phaco tips
easyPhaco® handpiece
Having an outside diameter of 13 mm, an internal infusion tube, being extremely light weight (42 grams) and completely made of titanium, the Oertli easyPhaco handpiece has set the standards since 2002. The handpiece, which is equipped with 6 piezo crystals, is ideally suited for easyPhaco technology and MICS. The flexible cable and the grip of the five rubber rings on the handpiece support the user's comfort.
Phaco tip easyTips
The easyTip's unique bevel of the tip opening has been designed to hold fragments firmly at the tip. Thanks to the high vacuum created, fragments are no longer repelled. The single use easyTips come along with an irrigation sleeve, a test chamber, a phaco and an emergency key. The easyTip product range offers six different tips. From CO-MICS up to 3.2 mm incisions.
