The easyPhaco technology was developed for safe and efficient phacoemulsification. Thanks to Oertli’s unique fluidics concept, easyPhaco allows direct control over fragments and ensures a high holdability *. The occluded fragments absorb the ultrasound energy and are then efficiently aspirated with no clogging *. The infusion capacity is several times higher than the aspiration, enabling the intraocular pressure to be maintained for a stable anterior chamber 1.
How easyPhaco works in practice
How easyPhaco works in theory
Direct fragment followability
The high vacuum setting and the wide infusion path of the easyTips create a direct flow to the tip. This results in a magnet-like attraction of the fragments *.
Strong fragment holdability
The angled easyTip opening has been designed to hold fragments firmly at the tip *.
U/S energy absorbed by the occluded fragments
Thanks to the strong holdability and the longitudinal movements of the easyTips, ultrasound is directed axially to the occluded fragments.
Smooth fragment aspiration
Following an occlusion break, the capillary aspiration path of the easyTips provides continuous aspiration. Thanks to the high vacuum created, the fragments are efficiently aspirated *.
Stable anterior chamber
The infusion capacity is several times higher than the aspiration, enabling the intraocular pressure to be maintained for a stable anterior chamber 1.

Handpiece & phaco tips
easyPhaco® handpiece
With an external diameter of 13 mm, an internal infusion line and a low weight of 42 grams, the titanium easyPhaco handpiece has set the standard since 2002. The handpiece has six piezo crystals. The five rubber rings on the handpiece make it more comfortable to hold.
easyTips phaco tips
The angled easyTip opening has been designed to hold fragments firmly at the tip *. Thanks to the high vacuum created, the fragments are efficiently aspirated. The single-use easyTips are supplied with an irrigation sleeve, a test chamber and a phaco and emergency key. The easyTip range includes six different tips: from CO-MICS (1.6 mm) up to 3.2 mm incisions.
