The CataRhex 3 in cataract surgery
The phaco machine CataRhex 3 is used to make cataract and phaco surgery fast, safe, calm, and – thanks to its mobility – economical and accessible everywhere. The space-saving and portable surgical platform enables cataract surgery at a high level, in modern high-performance operating theatres and under special circumstances or unconventional situations. easyPhaco is developed for safe and efficient phacoemulsification. Additionally, the CataRhex 3 offers advantages and characteristics for anterior vitrectomy as well
Cataract techniques with our ophthalmic device
Capsulorhexis
Capsulorhexis has marked a significant milestone in the development of cataract surgery, enhancing safety and reducing the risk of radial capsule ruptures. In standard phacoemulsification procedures, the anterior lens capsule is manipulated using a needle or forceps. However, in recent years, Femto laser-assisted capsulorhexis has gained increasing importance. Oertli has successfully taken another path – using HF capsulotomy, developed in collaboration with Professor Rudolf Klöti, Zurich.

Phaco with the cataract machine
Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. The gold standard for cataract treatment is phacoemulsification, often referred to as phaco. A small tunnel incision is made in the cornea, which usually closes on its own after the operation. A hollow needle is inserted through this incision, and ultrasonic energy is used to emulsify the lens nucleus, which is then aspirated. For this procedure, Oertli provides the easyPhaco technology, developed for safe and efficient emulsification.

Irrigation / aspiration
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).

Diathermy
Diathermy is used in manifold ways in cataract surgery and can be a gentle alternative to capsulorhexis and forceps, such as for opening the lens capsule. 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 is removed from the anterior segment and is usually replaced with BSS. The procedure is used when the vitreous body has entered the anterior chamber, after a posterior capsule rupture.
