The portable platform weighs only 5 kg, is ready for operation in seconds, and features a 2-pump system as well as an integrated air compressor for anterior vitrectomy.
Phacoemulsification: The easyPhaco technology is developed for safe and efficient phacoemulsification. It is characterised by direct fragment followability, strong holdability and a stable anterior chamber4.
2-pump system: With Peristaltic and SPEEP, the CataRhex 3 combines two pump systems in one device. The unique SPEEP pump adds independent control of flow and vacuum, providing full aspiration control in free-flow and under occlusion*.
Capsulotomy: High-frequency energy opens the capsular bag without the use of forceps or needles. It is sufficient to gently slide the capsulotomy tip over the tissue, even under the iris, while applying the diathermy energy*.
Integrated air compressor: Thanks to its built-in air compressor, the CataRhex 3 is instantly ready for anterior vitrectomy. No external air supply is required. The pneumatcally driven Continuous Flow Cutter enables efficient work with up to 2400 cpm.
Fast system boot-up: After switching on, the CataRhex 3 is ready for operation in just a few seconds.
Clearly structured control panel: The pivotable display concisely shows current operating parameters. Via the user-friendly control panel, you can activate preset functions directly at the touch of a button.
Instrument connections: The instrument connections are conveniently accessible from the front, making surgical preparation simple and efficient. Clear colour coding ensures quick orientation for instrument connection.
Optional infusion pole: The optional infusion pole offers a simple way to mount the CataRhex 3 using a rod clamp, allowing it to be moved easily around the operating theatre.

«After using the CataRhex 3 for more than 5000 cataract cases, my opinion is: the anterior chamber is really stable, can be used for any grade of cataract, safe for cornea endothelial, faster visual recovery, and ideal for the World Vision 2020 program. Moreover, the consumables and maintenance of the machine are economical. It’s a truly mobile phaco machine.» D1
