Bipolar Capsulotomy

Since its launch in 1991, bipolar capsulotomy has proven to be an ideal method for opening the lens capsule in numerous cases. The bipolar energy melts the capsular bag – entirely without the usual tearing by forceps or needles. It is sufficient to gently slide the capsulotomy tip over tissues, even under the iris, while dosing the diathermy energy. This results in a capsular edge that meets current surgical standards, immediately and in the long term.

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, bipolar capsulotomy delivers reliable outcomes.

• Gentle alternative to capsulorhexis
