Reimagine precise control.

Adaptive Fluidics™ integrates precision aspiration control with Dynamic Infusion Compensation to create the new standard for stabilising intraocular pressure, creating a highly responsive and controlled surgical environment, and improving lens removal efficiency.1,2,3*

E X C E P T I O N A L C H A M B E R S TA B I L I T Y1 , 2

Dynamic Infusion Compensation technology compensates for changes in fluid flow, improving control and maintaining a stable chamber. After the surgeon sets a preferred infusion pressure, it works systematically by:

• Monitoring: Adaptive Fluidics continuously tracks vacuum flow rate at every moment of surgery

• Compensating: The system automatically adjusts infusion pressure, for increased stability

REINVENTING RESPONSIVENESS, REVOLUTIONISING CONTROL.

Stellaris Elite™ with Adaptive Fluidics minimises post-occlusion surge and delivers

better chamber stability than Infiniti.1,4

Stellaris Elite™ with Adaptive Fluidics delivers an effective post-occlusion chamber pressure that’s

three times higher than Centurion with Active Infusion, resulting in reduced post-occlusion surge.2

The unprecedented Vitesse™ hypersonic vitrectomy system advances the process of vitreous removal using an innovative and effective approach. Available exclusively on the Stellaris Elite™ system, Vitesse™ brings an exceptional level of surgical control and precision to vitrectomies.

• Exceptional Control and Precision HyperV technology liquefies tissue in a highly localised zone at the edge of the port 6**

• Consistent Flow OpenPort design is completely open 100% of the time 6**

• Completely Unobstructed Aspiration Novel single-lumen design enables efficient vitreous removal 6**

Vitesse is a fundamentally different method of vitreous removal and tissue dissection that may provide great surgical precision and efficiency.

VITESSE™ HYPERSONIC VITRECTOMY REDEFINING VITREOUS REMOVAL

VITREOUS LIQUEFACTION, FOR CONTINUOUS FLOW

Compared to traditional pneumatic cutters which perform guillotine cuts of the vitreous,

Vitesse™ liquefies vitreous for precise and continuous flow vitrectomy.

• Needle-inside-a-needle design naturally restricts flow

• Vitreous is aspirated, then sheared by the guillotine-style cutter

• Guillotine action inherently creates traction

• Novel open port design enables continuous unrestricted fluid flow 6**

• HyperV technology liquefies then aspirates vitreous at the edge of the port 6**

• Design facilitates smooth, efficient vitreous removal 6**
