Bipolar Capsulotomy

Since its launch in 1991, bipolar capsulotomy has proven to be an alternative method for opening the lens capsule in uncountable cases. The capsular bag can be cut open using high-frequency energy – entirely without the usual tearing by forceps or needles. It is sufficient to gently slide the capsulotomy tip over the tissue, even under the iris, while applying the diathermy energy *.

Bipolar capsulotomy is suitable for indications such as a lack of fundus reflex, hypermature cataract, traumatic cataract, intumescent cataract and juvenile cataract *. Even with narrow pupils, out-of-control rhexis or rhexis phimosis, HF capsulotomy delivers reliable outcomes *.
