Zeiss Visalis 500 Family

A modular phaco and vitrectomy system with a very fl exible application range for anterior as well as posterior procedures: that’s the new VISALIS 500. Designed with simplicity and effi ciency in mind, the system combines exceptional ergonomics with a series of fl exible performance drivers, including innovative MICS capabilities, a state-of-the-art dual pump and ultrasonic technology as well as ultra-high speed vitrectomy.

ZEISS VISALIS Phaco And Vitrectomy Systems. Experience the difference

Combined with CALLISTO eye®, it is integrated into the clinical workfl ow, adapting itself to your surgical style. As a single-system surgical solution for phaco as well as vitrectomy, it offers tremendous investment security – now and in the future.

Combine VISALIS 500 with the OPMI LUMERA® 700 microscope, CALLISTO eye and the broad range of ZEISS IOLs, the innovative BLUEMIXS™ 180 injector and OVD solutions to the cataract workplace. Add RESIGHT® to create the retina workplace. The new VISALIS 500 phaco and vitrectomy system complements both workplaces – designed as much for enhanced safety and efficiency as for superb patient and surgeon comfort.
In other words: designed to let you live your skills.

Highlights

Equipped with the new APM™ (Advanced Power Modulation), VISALIS S500 and VISALIS V500 create the basis for:

Reduction in phaco energy*
Capturing followability*
Superior cutting efficiency*
Improved chamber stability*

It´s superior phacoemulsification efficiency you simply have to experience for yourself.*

APM

APM is an automated pulse shaping modulation technology that combines burst and pulse ultrasound energy into one modulation pattern.

Reduction of phaco energy

On the whole, APM lowers the measured effective phaco time (EPT) by as much as 73%.*

Capturing followability

Its capturing followability attracts and continuously engages nuclear fragments on the phaco tip without repulsion.*

Improved chamber stability

In addition, APM accelerates cataract removal and improves anterior chamber stability by 32%.*

Superior cutting efficiency

APM provides the efficiency of the burst to impale the nucleus and the speed of pulse to remove the quadrant.*

The modular phaco and vitrectomy system

In addition to premium cataract technologies, VISALIS V500 features leading posterior vitrectomy functions – eliminating the need for external modules and saving space.
