Designed for frictionless integration into the operating room, the Faros empowers surgeons to perform procedures more safely, rapidly, and precisely, significantly reducing intraoperative risks and enhancing the patient experience from the very first postoperative day.

Outstanding Advantages of the Oertli Faros™

1. Ultra-Compact Design, Uncompromised Performance

Faros combines a compact size with a surgical range that covers:

• Cataract

• Anterior and posterior vitrectomy

• MIGS for glaucoma (HFDS®)

Ideal for operating rooms with limited space or for centers seeking maximum modularity.

2. SPEEP® Pump – Absolute Control Over Flow and Vacuum

The innovative SPEEP® pump seamlessly combines

• The flow-control precision of a peristaltic pump

• The dynamic vacuum responsiveness of a Venturi system.

Enables independent control of flow and vacuum directly from the foot pedal, even under full occlusion.
✔ Provides superior control in complex cases (e.g., Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome [IFIS], zonular weakness).
✔ Facilitates safer and highly delicate surgical maneuvers.

3. easyPhaco® – Safe, Efficient, and Stable Emulsification

Engineered to maximize anterior chamber stability and fragment aspiration:

• High "magnetic-like" attraction of fragments.

• Zero clogging.

• Exceptionally stable anterior chamber dynamics.

• Aspirates and emulsifies more efficiently, drastically reducing the required ultrasonic energy.

Includes the easyPhaco® handpiece, weighing a mere 42 grams and featuring six piezoelectric crystals.

4. Continuous Flow Cutter – Traction-Free Vitrectomy

The vitrectomy tip remains continuously open, cutting both forward and backward with a dual 0.1 mm blade:

• Significantly minimizes retinal traction.

• Maintains constant flow without fluidic fluctuations.

• Achieves ultra-high speeds of up to 10,000 cuts per minute.

• Ideal for safe, precise work in the extreme periphery.

5. Power LED – Up to 45% More Illumination

The advanced Power LED lighting system delivers:

• Superior luminosity

• Minimal phototoxicity.

• Its broad, adjustable range is perfectly optimized for 3D heads-up surgery

• Boasts an exceptionally long lifespan.

6. HFDS® – Implant-Free MIGS

The High Frequency Deep Sclerotomy technology enables an ab interno MIGS procedure, without the need for implants, boasting proven long-term clinical results.

• Performed through a micro-incision of just 1.2 mm.

• Delivers sustained Intraocular Pressure (IOP) reduction for up to 48 months.

7. Dual-Linear Foot Pedal – Real-Time Total Control

• Delivers an immediate response with zero signal latency.

• It features customizable side switches

• Can be uniquely programmed for up to 50 individual surgeons.
