The Stellaris EliteTM platform incorporates a CapsuleGuard® IA handpiece with an entirely silicone tip, designed to reduce the risk of posterior capsule rupture (PCR). Its unique design benefits all stages of irrigation/aspiration (IA), before and after intraocular implant placement.
The silicone handpiece is designed for all phases of irrigation/aspiration with the Stellaris Elite platform:
- Design to enhance visualization
- Allows removal of the cortex
- Capsule cleaning
- Implant handling
- Removal of viscoelastic product
- Evidence suggests that it may reduce the risk of CRP compared with metal handpieces (1).
