ZEISS Medical Technology has announced the broad U.S. distribution of the MICOR 700 from ZEISS, ‘reinventing’ lens extraction according to the company with what it says is the first hand-held lens removal device with ultrasound-free operation. Providing a sustainable solution with a low initial investment to help surgeons broaden their intraocular working space.

Creating a gentler patient experience, the ZEISS MICOR 700 offers a revolutionary approach to lens removal, including patented crystalline lens extraction technology, a blunt and rounded tip design, and a single-use “plug & play” system with a minimal operating room (O.R.) footprint.

“We’re putting the future of lens extraction in the hands of surgeons today,” says Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., President of Ophthalmology Strategic Business Unit and Head of the Digital Business Unit for ZEISS Medical Technology. “The ZEISS MICOR 700 extends our cataract solutions portfolio and serves as a testament to ZEISS’s ability to deliver revolutionary, state-of-the-art technologies that advance cataract surgery, benefiting both patients and surgeons.”
