The CataRhex 3 in cataract surgery
The CataRhex 3 makes cataract surgery incredibly fast, safe, calm, and – thanks to its excellent mobility – economical and everywhere accessible. The space-saving and portable surgical platform ensures safe cataract surgery of the highest level, both in cutting-edge high-performance operating theatres and under awkward circumstances or unusual conditions. easyPhaco was developed for a safe and efficient phacoemulsification. Capsulorhexis is considerably easier with HF capsulotomy. In addition, the CataRhex 3 also offers decisive advantages and excellent characteristics in anterior vitrectomy.
Capsulorhexis
In the development of cataract surgery, capsulorhexis created a milestone. It leads to greater safety in interventions and reduces the risk of radial capsule ruptures significantly. Work on the anterior lens capsule with needle or forceps is still regarded the standard procedure in phaco interventions. However, the Femto laser assisted capsulorhexis has gained increasing importance in the last few years. Oertli has successfully taken another path – using HF capsulotomy, developed in joint collaboration with Professor Rudolf Klöti, Zurich.
Find out morePhaco
Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. For surgical treatment of cataract, phaco – short for phacoemulsification – is the gold standard. A small tunnel incision is made in the cornea, which closes again by itself after the operation. A hollow needle is inserted through this incision during the operation. The lens nucleus is then emulsified using ultrasonic energy and aspirated. For this procedure, Oertli provides easyPhaco technology, which was developed for safe and efficient emulsification.

With irrigation and aspiration instruments, the supply of irrigation fluid and the aspiration of lens material can be combined directly in one work step. Oertli offers I/A instruments and tips with a Safety Design, which together with the SPEEP pump are an ideal combination for the removal of lens material (cortex).
Find out moreDiathermy
Diathermy is used in manifold ways in cataract surgery and can be a sensible alternative to capsulorhexis and forceps, e.g. when it comes to capsule opening. Thanks to sophisticated
technologies, the surgical platforms from Oertli enable fine and directly controlled dosing of high-frequency energy.
Anterior vitrectomy
In anterior vitrectomy, the vitreous body content is removed, and generally, a replacement fluid is inserted. The procedure is used, for instance, in the case of a loss of lens fragments in the vitreous body following a posterior capsule rupture. In such cases, Oertli brings to bear the advantages of both physics and fluidics in a highly impressive manner – safe and traction-free.
