The Zepto device is an innovative, disposable system aimed at providing reliable, reproducible, automated incisions in the crystalline lens during cataract surgery. The device is constructed from nickel-titanium (or nitinol), which is a shape-memory alloy. This means you can bend it out of shape and it always returns to its original shape – a property that makes it perfect for insertion into the eye through a clear incision in the cornea via a thin hollow rod.
Once inside, the device flattens out to a circular template which suctions into place and delivers a precise, low-energy pulse to instantaneously separate a circle of tissue from the front surface of the crystalline lens. Morgagnian cataract is a form of hypermature cataract formed by liquefaction of the cortex and sinking of the dense nucleus to the bottom of the capsular bag. Clinical features: Liquefying lens cortex Sunken…
