Zepto Precision Pulse Capsulotomy

Zepto, also referred to as “precision pulse capsulotomy," is an automated anterior capsulotomy device consisting of a disposable handpiece and capsulotomy tip powered by a small console. The cutting element is a nitinol ring surrounded by a thin, transparent silicone shell with a central opening which allows patients to fixate on the microscope light filament during positioning. After the nitinol ring and silicone shell are stretched and elongated with a metal push rod to facilitate insertion through a clear corneal incision, the tip re-assumes the original circular shape and is gently apposed to the anterior capsular surface with suction. A series of rapid electrical nanopulses cleave 360º of the apposed anterior capsule in milliseconds.

Description

At-a-Glance

Cutting Mechnism: Electical pulses
Creates a round, accurately sized, and well-centered capsulotomy as part of the normal cataract surgery protocol
Nitinol is a shape-memory alloy so it can be deformed or compressed and it will rebound to its original shape
Discharge of highly focused nanopulses at a low-energy produces a round anterior capsulotomy simultaneously along 360 degrees within milliseconds
Clear silicone sleeve enables visualization of the cutting element
Cost effective, continuous, and reproducible capsulotomies
