CATARHEX 3 MAKING THE DIFFERENCE WITH SPEEP®
The CataRhex 3 surgical platform from Oertli proves that great things sometimes come in small packages. With compact dimensions and a lightweight at just 11 lbs, the CataRhex 3 systematically focuses on mobility and portability. With the unique SPEEP pump and the familiar easyPhaco technology, we developed a platform with the aim of an effective tool for simple, safe and efficient work in routine phaco and cataract surgery.
The capsulotomy tip is used to open the capsular bag using high-frequency diathermy and there is an integrated compressor for anterior vitrectomy.
Make the difference – with the CataRhex 3 phaco machine for cataract surgery by Oertli.
Small platform, big performance
The CataRhex 3 by Oertli is a consistently compact and portable surgical platform for cataract and glaucoma surgery. The full innovative strength of Oertli is packed in an impressively small housing. The precise flow control, the powerful performance and the high user-friendliness of the CataRhex 3 make it the ideal phaco device in eye surgery under a range of conditions.
Features of the CataRhex 3
SPEEP® pump
The SPEEP pump uses the same principle as a peristaltic pump * to control the flow during phaco surgery. SPEEP also allows the vacuum to be controlled with the foot pedal.
* Modulation according to the principle of the peristaltic pump
easyPhaco® technology
Fluidics based on physics. Thanks to Oertli's fluidics concept, easyPhaco allows a direct fragment followability and provides a strong fragment holdability *.
The multifunctional pedal
The robust multifunctional pedal of the CataRhex 3, which is connected to the phacoemulsification machine, enables reliable control of the system with simple foot movements. The pedal is waterproof 1, extremely compact and weighs just 5.7 lbs.
Bipolar Capsulotomy
Since its introduction in 1991, bipolar capsulotomy has been used for opening the lens capsule in countless cases. The bipolar energy cuts the capsular bag with high-frequency, rather than the traditional tearing by forceps or needles.
Fluidics based on physics
Thanks to the precise flow control provided by the peristaltic principle, the CataRhex 3 provides precision and force, both for phacoemulsification with easyPhaco and for I / A and anterior vitrectomy.
I/A with safety design
The ophthalmic I/A instruments and tips with Safety Design have a long shaft to allow sub-incisional access and are designed for stable anterior chamber conditions.
Simple cataract operation
The display is well laid out and easy to use. Additionally, the ophthalmic device starts up quickly; after switching on, the system is ready for operation within a few seconds.
Phaco Instruments
Of course, Oertli is consistently committed to the quality of its instruments, handpieces, tips and auxiliaries. The instruments are developed in Berneck, Switzerland, and manufactured with the utmost precision. This ensures that surgeons can rely completely on their tools.
Accessories
As with all Oertli devices, the CataRhex 3 surgical platform is a closed system that comprises matching instruments and tailor-made device accessories.
