The OZIL Torsional Phaco is a revolutionary technology that is useful to operate difficult cataract cases effectively. Unlike the traditional Phaco, there is no forward and backward movement of the phaco tip. The hard cataract can be removed by side to side cutting and / or combined with longitudinal (conventional cutting) cutting. With OZil, the cataract fragments continue to come towards the tip rather than moving away, thus reduce repulsion, increase followability. This way, complex cataract cases achieve excellent surgical outcomes just like routine cases.
Another major advantage of Torsional Phaco (OZil) is the reduction in Thermal Injury. This is because the velocity of the angled tip of the torsional handpiece is three times greater than the velocity at its shaft. So the amount of friction and heat energy being released at the tip (and heating) is less and much lesser at the incision site. Less injury to the tissues results in less astigmatism. This is very different from the traditional ultrasound where the velocity of the shaft and tip are equal, resulting in greater chance of thermal injury.
