Revolutionizing Cataract Surgery: Discover the ZEISS Quatera 700
Phaco Evolution: A Focus on the Quatera 700
In the dynamic field of ophthalmology, advancements in technology continue to shape the future of patient care. At Medtech, we are excited to present one such breakthrough in cataract surgery—the ZEISS Quatera 700, a state-of-the-art phacoemulsification system that offers enhanced safety, precision, and efficiency. In this blog post, we will take you through the evolution of phaco surgery and explore how the Quatera 700 is setting new benchmarks in the field.
The Evolution of Phaco Surgery
Phacoemulsification, or phaco, revolutionized cataract surgery when it was introduced by Dr. Charles Kelman in the 1960s. Over the years, this surgical technique has evolved, integrating advanced fluidics and ultrasound technology to improve precision, safety, and patient outcomes.
ZEISS has been at the forefront of this evolution, and their latest innovation, the Quatera 700, represents a substantial leap forward. This device is designed to optimize the surgical workflow and improve results for both surgeons and patients, making it a preferred choice for modern ophthalmic surgery.
Introducing the Quatera 700
The ZEISS Quatera 700 is a game-changer in the phacoemulsification space. Built with surgeons and patient safety in mind, the Quatera 700 addresses key challenges in cataract surgery by improving fluidics control, minimizing phaco times, and ensuring stable intraocular pressure during procedures.
At the core of the Quatera 700 is the advanced QUATTRO Pump technology, which offers precise control over intraocular pressure and flow dynamics. This precision facilitates accurate incisions and lens placement, significantly reducing the potential for error.
ZEISS patented QUATTRO pump is designed to minimize surge effect with regards to length and parameter settings.
Key Features and Benefits of the Quatera 700
The Quatera 700 offers several features that distinguish it from other devices:
- Superior Fluidics Control: The QUATTRO Pump technology allows precise control over intraocular pressure and flow dynamics, providing superior chamber stability, even during complex surgeries. This significantly reduces the risk of complications.
- Intelligent Ultrasound Power Management: With automated ultrasound power that activates on-demand, the Quatera 700 reduces energy usage by up to 50%. This gentler approach preserves delicate ocular tissues and promotes faster recovery for patients.
- Integrated Surgical Workflow: Seamlessly integrating with the ZEISS Cataract Workflow, the Quatera 700 provides surgeons with real-time data, imaging, and surgical planning tools, leading to streamlined and efficient surgeries.
- Minimized Surge Effect: The innovative QUATTRO Pump compensates for incision leakage and minimizes surge duration, ensuring smooth and controlled surgery even at high flow rates.
Comparative Study: Quattro Pump Fluidics vs. Competitor Devices
In 2023, a comparative study published in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery demonstrated the superior fluidics control of the Quatera 700 versus a competitor’s device. The study showed that the Quatera 700 maintained intraocular pressure (IOP) at flow rates of up to 90 cc/min, compared to 50 cc/min for the competitor’s device. Additionally, the Quatera’s ability to compensate for incision leakage was unmatched, offering ophthalmic surgeons greater precision and reliability during surgery.

Testimonial: Dr. B. Beehuspoteea
Dr. B. Beehuspoteea, a distinguished ophthalmologist, shared his experience with the Quatera 700:
"The ZEISS Quatera 700 has transformed my cataract surgeries with its unmatched chamber stability and ultrasound delivery efficiency. My phaco time has reduced by around 40%, and energy usage has dropped significantly, resulting in faster recovery for patients. I confidently tackle complex cases, knowing the Quatera 700 delivers superior outcomes every time."
