About the Procedure
Few procedures have shaped modern ophthalmology as profoundly as cataract surgery – and few make such demands on both instrument and hand. Through incisions of just a few millimetres, the clouded lens is gently removed by phacoemulsification and replaced with an intraocular lens.
What takes only minutes in the operating room is the result of the highest engineering craftsmanship: every detail – from the cutting edge to the fluidics – determines control, safety and the visual outcome.
Geuder's Expertise in Cataract Surgery
For more than seven decades, Geuder has devoted itself to the art of the ophthalmic surgical instrument. In Heidelberg, instruments and systems for cataract surgery are manufactured to artisan quality – developed in close dialogue with internationally leading ophthalmic surgeons. The result is a portfolio that masters every step of the procedure: from the first incision to the final implantation. Not as a standard, but as a benchmark.
The Procedure – Precision at Every Step
Incision
The first incision shapes the outcome. NanoEdge single-use knives create sharply defined, self-sealing incisions – for minimal surgically induced astigmatism and a wound architecture that delivers on its promise.
Capsulorhexis & Anterior Capsulotomy
Opening the anterior capsule allows no blurring. Capsulorhexis forceps and instruments from Geuder – including the proven Ikeda-Yae instruments – translate every movement with the precision and control this moment demands: for a circular, reproducible rhexis.
Phacoemulsification
At the heart of the procedure, ultrasound emulsifies the clouded lens through the smallest incisions. The megaTRON S4 HPS gives surgeons the choice between three vacuum modes – delivering full control over fluidics, anterior chamber stability and efficiency.
IOL Handling & Implantation
IOL implantation determines the refractive outcome. Instruments such as the Snyder-Osher enable safe, astigmatism-neutral handling – even in complex situations including explantation.
megaTRON S4 HPS – A System That Adapts to the Surgeon
A system that adapts to the surgeon – not the other way around. The megaTRON S4 HPS combines phacoemulsification and vitrectomy in one modular platform. Its hybrid pump system unites the sensitivity of a peristaltic pump with the responsiveness of the venturi pump – for sovereign control at every phase of the procedure.
- 1. Hybrid Pump System — Peristaltic and venturi in one system – adapted to every phase of surgery and every individual technique.
- 2. Three Vacuum Modes — Maximum freedom for individual surgical techniques – from gentle build-up to efficient removal.
- 3. Modular & Versatile — One platform for anterior and posterior segment – phaco today, vitrectomy tomorrow. Investment security included.
