The CataRhex 3 surgical platform from Oertli proves that great things sometimes come in small packages. With extremely compact dimensions and a lightweight of just five kilograms, the phaco device CataRhex 3 systematically focuses on mobility and portability. With the unique SPEEP pump and the familiar easyPhaco technology, we have developed 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. There is an integrated compressor for anterior vitrectomy, and the HFDS application delivers promising long-term results for glaucoma surgery 3.
Make the difference – with the CataRhex 3 phaco machine for cataract surgery by Oertli.
The SPEEP pump uses the same principle as a peristaltic pump 1 to control the flow during phaco surgery. SPEEP also allows the vacuum to be controlled with the foot pedal.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As with all Oertli devices, the CataRhex 3 surgical platform is a closed system that comprises matching instruments and tailor-made device accessories.
