What does the new generation of surgical platform look like? What advancements does it provide in retina, glaucoma and cataract surgery? Technology in ophthalmic surgery has never been so sophisticated, versatile, efficient and powerful.

We will be attending the virtual SAoO this year from 3 until 5 march 2021. We cannot wait to network with you and we would love to catch up at our virtual booth or at the Oertli Satellite Symposium. 

The groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of the construction work for the Lean Factory in Berneck. The two co-owners Christoph and Thomas Bosshard as well as the entire management with Andreas Schmidheini, Chairman of the Board of Directors, together with the architects Markus Bänziger and Björn Lutze of Bänziger Lutze Architektur AG and Bruno Seelos, Mayor of Berneck, celebrated the groundbreaking and the new Lean Factory project.

For several decades, vitrectomy has been continuously optimized by various technologies. One of the most important optimizations is the reduction of instruments which gives the surgeon more freedom and safety during the procedure. Thus, 23G to 27G instruments allow for a sutureless surgical procedure that significantly improves patient safety, comfort and recovery.

Our glaucoma solution is a modern ab interno procedure for the treatment of open angle glaucoma. High Frequency Deep Sclerotomy (HFDS) describes the modern procedure in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. In the course of this procedure, a comprehensive compendium on this topic was created. The compendium describes the importance of HFDS in modern glaucoma surgery, explains several clinical studies and is supported with a step-by-step guide about the procedure.

Anyone involved in vitreoretinal surgery knows the problem. Transscleral indentation usually requires an assisting hand, which increases the duration of the procedure. The ViPer solves this problem.

In the November issue of The Ophthalmologist, Prof. Matthias Bolz explains how the little helper improves speed and efficiency in the OR.

Modern cataract surgery places a number of demands on the surgeon. Armin Wolf, Professor of Ophthalmology and Director at Ulm University Hospital in Germany, explains in the current issue of The Ophthalmologist why fluidics based on physics is so important and how our unique SPEEP pump takes his cataract surgery to a new level.

The next congress goes virtual. Between 13 - 15 November the AAO is going virtual. For us it will be the forth exhibition in this new environment. We are still collecting lots of practical learnings and improve after each show to give you the best possible experience. This year, we recommend the live chat to all of you. Take the chance and get in contact with our experts. We are here for you!

The new flexible chandelier solution with a flexible light fiber, provides a global visibility of the fundus for all surgical maneuvers in the posterior segment. Its’ extremely flexible loop of fiber brings high flexibility in application as well as in illumination and is compatible to all Oertli 23G, 25G and 27G trocar systems.

We are eagerly awaiting the first virtual congress of ESCRS and Euretina. Visit our virtual booth between October 2 - 4 and take the chance to get in touch with our team of experts via LIVE chat and get informed about the latest innovations.

We are pleased to present our latest addition to the product range, which is the single packed trocar. The trocar with its integrated lock membrane prevents the outflow of BSS, air and oil, which results in a constant IOP during the whole surgery. Thanks to its excellent holding power and optimum shaft length, the Caliburn trocar system boasts even more safety and more comfort. The infusion tube, with its patented snap lock, can be placed in a new position any time during surgery, which additionally increases flexibility.

Andreas Bosshard, co-owner and former managing director of Oertli Instrumente AG, handed over the chairmanship of the board into new hands; into the capable hands of Andreas Schmidheini. The Board of Directors was reorganised as of 1st January 2020.

For the first time ever the World Ophthalmology Congress from the International Council of Ophthalmology will be held virtually from 26 – 29 June 2020. Over 2’000 presentations from experts and industry will be showcased in the scientific program: live and pre-recorded sessions, satellite symposia and a brand new virtual exhibition.

We are looking forward meeting you at our virtual booth. Stay curious about our activities during the WOC 2020.

We have new content for you! Our YouTube channel is now online. With different categories such as "Showcase" or "Spotlight", we want to show you how we make the difference in cataract, glaucoma and retina surgery.

In the current issue of Retina Today Prof. Matthias Bolz describes how he contributed to the development of the ViPer illuminated scleral indentor. Bolz explains how the ViPer allows to place illumination and indentation of the eye in one hand and thus enables eye surgeons to operate faster and safer in the posterior segment of the eye without additional assistants.

The peripheral eye tissue is not easily accessible and difficult to make visible? – No longer now! With the introduction of illuminated laser probes, we have THE all in one retinal solution with which peripheral retinal defects can be treated even more easily, safely and more efficient than before. Use our illuminated laser probes in combination with our ViPer scleral indentor – indenting, illuminating and laser in one instrument.

The pioneering spirit in the OS 4 also becomes evident in the endo laser sector. With the directional laser probe by Oertli, the movability of the laser fiber opens up access far in to the periphery and allows the setting of a whole row of laser points by the finest movement of your fingertips. By simply moving the knob, the laser fiber can be bent in a controlled manner up to 90°. This also enables safe insertion and removal through the trocar system.

A current study proves: HFDS is a minimally invasive procedure and a safe and efficacious surgical technique for lowering IOP combined with cataract surgery.

The secret to faster, easier and more efficient retinal surgeries?

Combining indenting and peripheral illumination with ViPer.

In the current issue of Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today Europe (CRST Europe), Aaron Waite explains why CataRhex 3 has found its way into his operating room. Waite is enthusiastic about the handiness the CataRhex 3 offers. He also explains that the excellent fluidics of the CataRhex 3 brings added value to all of his cataract surgeries.

In the October issue of the Retina Today magazine, Patelli describes his positive experiences with the OS 4. He is particularly impressed, by the three-pump system with the peristaltic and Venturi pump as well as the unique SPEEP pump. With the Caliburn trocar system, he perfectly controls the intraocular pressure thanks to the integrated membrane. He recommends the OS 4 especially to surgeons for vitreoretinal surgery.

The Research Institute of Ophthalmology, Egypt and Kasr Ainy School of Medicine, Cairo University have published a study on the HFDS procedure. The study shows that HFDS achieves a significant intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and it is a safe and promising minimally invasive procedure for patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma.

Since 27 years, Oertli supports the WinterAcademy, which is organized by MTS – the wetlab company. The practical and instructive academy takes place from 22^nd – 27^th March 2020 for the first time in Bregenz (Austria).
