Fluidics Stability with IOP control in combination with HYPERVIT® and Advanced ULTRAVIT®13-16
CONSTELLATION® helps you achieve fluidics stability you’ve never imagined in vitrectomy surgeries.
Reduced Pulsatile Traction for Stability During Surgery
CONSTELLATION® Vision System’s IOP compensation enables stable, closed-system intraocular surgery when combined with valved cannulas and the HYPERVIT® or the Advanced ULTRAVIT® probe.13,16,17
Consistent IOP Control with CONSTELLATION®
CONSTELLATION® features a proprietary non-invasive flow sensor technology by Alcon, which enables the surgeon to maintain IOP to ± 2 mmHg.18 CONSTELLATION® compensates for and provides control of infusion pressure, while also offering simultaneous irrigation and infusion.13
