Cataract surgery has evolved significantly with advanced technology, providing surgeons with efficient tools for enhanced safety and precision. The LEGION® System by Alcon serves as a reliable entry point into the world of superior phacoemulsification performance, ensuring stability, efficiency, and user-friendly operability.
Why Choose the LEGION® System?
The LEGION® System offers the essential features surgeons need to perform cataract surgery effectively. From increased stability during phacoemulsification to optimize efficiency and ease of use, this system is designed to deliver consistent results, especially in challenging surgical cases.
1. Increased Stability During Phacoemulsification
Stability is critical during cataract surgery to reduce the risk of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) and other complications. The LEGION® System provides:
- Better Surge Protection: Compared to legacy systems like INFINITI®, the LEGION® System reduces surge and enables faster recovery.
- Gravity Fluidics System: Surge protection with gravity fluidics ensures control during occlusion breaks.
- Surge Performance Highlights:
- 50% faster recovery from surge
- 30% reduction in surge volume
These features make the LEGION® System an ideal choice for maintaining chamber stability throughout the procedure.
2. Enhanced Efficiency with OZil® Torsional Technology
The LEGION® System is equipped with OZil® Torsional technology, which enhances phacoemulsification performance by reducing the ultrasound time, especially for harder cataracts. The torsional movement ensures:
- Improved Cutting Efficiency
- Enhanced Holdability and Followability
- Wound Integrity Preservation
Compared to other longitudinal ultrasound technologies, OZil® Torsional minimizes heat and enhances surgical outcomes.
3. Intuitive User Interface
A seamless surgical experience starts with user-friendly technology. The LEGION® System’s graphic user interface enables quick adjustment and customization of surgical settings. This intuitive interface allows surgeons to optimize parameters for each patient, reducing setup time and enhancing performance.
4. Optimized Design for Cost Management
The LEGION® System is designed with cost-effectiveness in mind. It can be used as a table-top unit or mounted on an optional cart, allowing surgeons to adapt the system to their needs. With reusable handpieces and consumable options, surgeons can further optimize operational costs without compromising performance.
Accessories Include:
- Reusable Electric Anterior Vitrectomy Handpiece
- 23G Anterior Vitrectomy Disposable Tip and Consumables
