From the OR
From those who have already tested it.⁵
What impressed me most was the anterior chamber stability. It's practically impossible to throw the device and pressure stability off balance. That's a truly outstanding feature of the VIVOS devices.
Prof. Dr. med. Lars-Olof Hattenbach
Director, Eye Clinic at Klinikum Ludwigshafen
VIVOS has completely convinced me. I felt comfortable with the usability from the very first second. The anterior chamber stability is excellent!
Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Ach, MSc
Deputy Clinic Director and Senior Consultant, University Eye Clinic Bonn
The anterior chamber remained stable, even at 700 mmHg – that's very important. In terms of fluidics and anterior chamber stability, the system is very predictable and easy to handle.
PD Dr. med. Hyeck-Soo Son
Senior Consultant & Head of Refractive Surgery, University Eye Clinic Heidelberg¹
What excites me is that VIVOS applies modular technologies for different surgical settings. Also its very good anterior chamber stability and the machine's compact handling.

The VIVOS ECOSYSTEM
The VIVOS Ecosystem combines high-quality GEUDER components into one cohesive solution for eye surgery – precise, reliable, and consistently aligned with the surgical workflow.
Phaco
Choose between the 42 kHz or the new, lighter 53 kHz ultrasound handpiece for even more efficient removal of the hardest cataracts with reduced heat generation. Also in the portfolio: highly efficient phaco tips as well as irrigation/aspiration handpieces – reusable or sterile.
Tamponades
With integrated compressor technology, VIVOS supports air and oil injection directly from the system. An external compressed air supply is not required – for more flexibility in the OR, less dependence on infrastructure, and easier integration into existing workflows.
Vitrectomy
VIVOS device systems are compatible with UNO Colorline vitrectors, light guides, and trocars. The open port of the vitrectors, combined with matching trocars, maintains continuous aspiration — with maximum duty cycle and stable flow. For clean and efficient vitrectomy at up to 24,000 cpm.
Laser & Light
Precise endocoagulation and endoillumination with matching laser probes and light guides – finely tuned for the posterior segment and fully integrated with VIVOS NOVA+.
Cassette
Other systems require regular cassette changes. VIVOS offers a choice: a multi-patient cassette for the entire OR day, reducing changeover effort and saving time, or a single-use cassette for individual procedures.
