Increased Stability During Phacoemulsification
LEGION® System offers better surge protection than INFINITI® at various vacuum limits, reducing the risk of PCR and capsule related problems.1-6
Surge Protection with Gravity Fluidics Systems7
Surge Volume After Occlusion Break8
(IOP 55 mmHg; Vac setting 550 mmHg; Asp 40 cc/min; 55 mmHg = 75 cm H20)
· 50% faster recovery from surge
· 30% less surge
Enhanced Efficiency
P value * = statistically significant
LEGION® System uses OZil® Torsional, allowing for reduced phacoemulsification time compared to Stellaris† longitudinal ultrasound technology, especially on higher grade cataracts.9
† Trademarks are the property of their respective owners (Whitestar Signature Ellips-FX, AMO (transversal), INFINITI-OZil-IP, Alcon (torsional), or Stellaris, B&L (longitudinal) machine)
What is OZil® Torsional?
OZil® Torsional with Intelligent Phaco
Intelligent Phaco In Depth
Using LEGION® System with a higher vacuum setting and the same bottle height allows improved holdability compared to INFINITI®.1-4,8
