Oertli Surgery Machines

Oertli OS3 and NovitreX3000®

The Oertli OS3 Phacoemulsification and NovitreX3000® Vitrectomy surgical system is the perfect machine for combined use due to the unlimited options it provides in the anterior and posterior segments. It makes operating safer, simpler and more efficient. With the Oertli OS3 you have the future in your hands and can offer optimal care to your patients.

How can we make this claim?

From the onset, the OS3 was uncompromisingly developed as a combined surgical platform. With one cassette for both phaco and vitrectomy, combined operations can be performed without interruption.
The OS3 double pump system enables you to chose between genuine peristaltic and genuine venturi aspiration at all times. In fact, the surgeon is able to switch in the middle of an operation with a mere flick of the foot pedal. This gives greater flexibility, safety and efficiency.
Both the patient and the surgeon benefit from a sophisticated Microincision system with all its advantages. CO-MICS allows for 1.6mm phaco incisions for co-axial phaco. This is the smallest phaco microincision system currently available which allows for conventional phaco techniques.
The NovitreX3000® with 20g; 23g and 25g sutureless vitrectomy as well as high speed vitrectomy cutting at 3000cpm, has been designed for the posterior surgery techniques of the future.
The OS3 provides the following complete range of perfectly designed and programmable functions:

Phaco: Linear; dual-linear, pulse; burst; CMP cool micro pulse
I/A: Linear; linear override; continuous irrigation, reflux
Vitrectomy: Linear; dual-linear; electrical; pneumatic; high speed 3000cpm
Diathermy: Linear; instant, macro; endo
Bipolar: Capsulotomy; STT glaucoma; IDK glaucoma
VitRet: Endo-illumination; air pump; visco-injection; visco aspiration
Fluidics: Venturi; peristaltic; occlusion mode; continuous irrigation
The OS3 provides the surgeon with an unbelievable amount of control. The programmable, dual-linear pedal conveys your commands incomparably quicker than any on-screen assistant. The surgeon is able to switch between functions, programmes, pumps, control modes etc.
The OS3 is extremely easy to use: Direct Access® removes the need for multi-level on-screen menus and also provides unrestricted programmability for as many surgeons as required.
Rapid preparation and switching between cases makes everything simpler and quicker.

CataRhex SwissTech

CataRhex SwissTech is smaller, lighter and easier to move then any other system on the market. But yet it performs like the latest big machines, or even better! The ideal system for places where space is at a premium as well as for surgeons who wish to be mobile. Perfect for multi surgeon centres with medium to very high volume too. One day, all phaco systems might be built like this; incisions become smaller, why shouldn't machines?

Features
CataRhex SwissTech is a state of the art phaco system featuring all the functions required for modern cataract surgery including CMP cool phaco:

irrigation/aspiration
multimode phaco
linear, pulse, burst and CMP phaco
bipolar diathermy
anterior segment vitrectomy
bipolar r. f. capsulotomy (Klöti)
bipolar glaucoma surgery (STT, IDK)

CataRhex uses an innovative design concept which offers distinct advantages over other phaco systems:

genuine portability
unequalled lightness and compactness (5.8 kg)
fits into a pilot case
mounts directly onto an infusion stand
simple tubing system (reusable or disposable) with integral sensor
space-saving multifunction pedal, can be moved by foot

CataRhex SwissTech has a particularly simple Direct Access® control surface which ensures immediate access to every function:

fast and simple unit preparation
short change-over times between surgeries
simple to use, short learning phase
rapid programming and call-up of multimode programs
ergonomic control panel with bright displays and distinct push buttons
background programming with ParaProg

Klöti Bipolar

The ideal equipment for capsulotomies in cases of poor visibility!

no red reflex
hypermature cataract
traumatic cataract
intumescent cataract
juvenile cataract
small pupil

The capsule is opened using diathermic radio frequency energy applied with a small bipolar needle. Energy is footswitch-activated and automatically controlled. The method was introduced in 1991 and is standard on all Oertli phaco and vitreoretinal equipment.

Capsule staining (Vision Blue) only improves visibility, but bipolar RF capsulotomy opens the capsule in spite of poor sight!

The ideal equipment for STT and IDK ab interno glaucoma procedures!

STT Sclerothalamotomy
(Bojan Pajic, Grigoris Pallas)
In this method, direct access is established between the anterior chamber and Schlemm's canal, thereby circumventing the drainage restistance of the trabeculum. The diathermal STT glaucoma tip is guided through a 1.2mm corneal paracentesis and a 0.3mm cavity (thalamus) in the sclera is formed opposite the incision using diathermy. A total of 3 paracenteses and 3 thalami are made.

IDK Intrastromal diathermal keratostomy
(Svend V. Kessing)
The intervention comprises 3 steps: a corneal incision parallel to the limbus, a corneo-scleral tunnel incision in the subconjunctive area and finally, the IDK glaucoma tip is used to make a diathermal tunnel incision up to Schwalbe's line.

The Klöti Bipolar Unit provides the capsulotomy and glaucoma functions as well as haemostasis and conjunctiva welding in a small standalone unit. Ideal for surgeons who have already a phaco machine or who do EC technique.

Highlights

compact, conveniently sized
easy to operate
long lasting, works from any voltage 90...230 Volts
wide range of reusable plug-on diathermy tips available
adds safety to any operating room at an affordable price

Klöti BIPOLAR – for safe and easy operating in difficult as well as in all other cases.
