Pioneering Precision and Control in Surgical Technology

Adaptive Fluidics and Stellaris Elite®: Predictable Fluidics for Retina Surgery

Versatile and Easy to Use

Adaptive Fluidics is straightforward to use, with a GUI-integrated toggle control that displays both target and compensated infusion pressures and allows surgeons to easily activate, deactivate, or change settings to their preferred levels for various surgery phases.

Proactive Response to Surgeon Commands

The system dynamically adjusts infusion in direct response to real-time, surgeon-commanded vacuum on the dual-linear, wireless foot pedal, promoting the reduction of risk for complications such as posterior capsule rupture or endophthalmitis.1

Dynamic Fluidics

By enabling real-time regulation of IOP with Adaptive Fluidics, surgeons can have more control of surgical conditions in the eye to help improve efficiency during retina procedures.1

Eyetelligence Clinicial Cloud Data

Turn Adaptive Fluidics™ Off

Surgeries using Adaptive Fluidics and those not using Adaptive Fluidics were both completed using a Bi-Blade® vitrectomy cutter at 15,000 cuts per minute.2,3,4

Adaptive Fluidics: Stabilizing IOP for Posterior Procedures

Using Adaptive Fluidics for posterior procedures demonstrated a notable 62% reduction in average infusion pressure when compared to procedures not enabled by Adaptive Fluidics

In keeping IOP closer to natural physiologic levels, Adaptive Fluidics™ streamlines surgeries to enhance the surgeon’s precision and efficiency.2

Enhanced Cutter Performance: Maximizing Efficiency and Control with Bi-Blade®

The integration of Adaptive Fluidics with the Bi-Blade® dual-port vitrectomy cutter maximizes surgical efficiency and control, providing consistent flow and enhanced IOP stability.2,3,4

Integrated Capabilities

Stellaris Elite® combines cataract and retina functionality in a single platform.

Vacuum Control

10% increase in maximum vacuum capacity (from 600 to 660mmHg).

Updated Cannulas

Reliable seal without inhibiting instrument insertion and removal.

Endoilluminator Evolution

83% thicker 25g endoilluminator walls boost light pipe rigidity by up to 93%.

Differentiated Viewing Solutions: Enhanced Clarity and Safety

The proprietary color filters offered with Stellaris Elite® enhance surgical clarity and safety, ensuring optimal visualization, confidence, and improved outcomes.  

Differentiated viewing provides significant advantages over systems without filters, serving as an augmentation or alternative to intraoperative dyes.

  • Yellow & Green: Filter out potentially damaging blue light, protecting retinal structures.
  • Green: Highlights structural details for improved clarity.
  • Amber: Minimizes glare, offering clear and precise visibility favored by surgeons.

Wireless Dual-Linear Foot Pedal:
Precision Control for Every Surgery Phase

The wireless dual-linear foot pedal adapts seamlessly to surgeon preferences and procedure specifics, ensuring unmatched precision and efficiency.

  • Separate pitch (up and down) and yaw (side-to-side) controls enable customizable control over vacuum and cut speed set up to surgeon preferences.
  • Independent aspiration and cut speed reduces the need to change mode settings mid-procedure.
  • An integrated laser switch and pedal streamlines the surgical process and promotes focus on patient outcomes.

Eyetelligence Software Platform

  • End-to-End Planning: Streamline surgical workflow from planning to post-op.
  • Real-Time Access: Enhance data management and information flow.
  • Confident Outcomes: Improved confidence in outcomes throughout all phases of the procedure.
