Groundbreaking technology

The FemtoMatrix® will be the first ophthalmic surgical suite to possess a unique set of technological capabilities that translate to a level of performance far ahead of the current standard:

  • Photonic technology allows, for the first time ever, to shape the laser beam by adjusting the wavefront that can be dynamically programmed in 3D to obtain a matrix of spots or spots of varying shapes depending on the type of cut you opt to perform.

  • Access to a multispot matrix or variable geometry spots permits FemtoMatrix® to perform cuts at much higher speeds than the current standard resulting in Photoemulsification®. The surgeon then simply aspirates the finely diced nucleus without resorting to ultrasound in the vast majority of cases.

  • An intelligent and autonomous OCT image-based system that calculates the ideal energy level necessary for safe and effective emulsification, drastically reducing the amount of gas produced.
  • Revolutionary optics to compensate for potential aberrations that otherwise degrade the quality of the laser beam.
  • An optical fiber in which, for the first time in the world, the femtosecond laser beam is injected resulting in substantial mobility of the optical head.
  • The resulting mobility combined with the robotic arm allows the surgeon to operate the FemtoMatrix® without moving the patient, for unequaled comfort and precision.

A unique technological advance

Photoemulsification® by FemtoMatrix® is thus well placed to supplant existing semi-manual, operator-dependent surgical procedures. It will render anterior segment surgery faster, more accurate and reproducible, through automated equipment possessing vision and intelligent software, exceptionally precise robotic movements, to make surgery ever safer and give all patients an equal opportunity.

All-in-one surgical suite

FemtoMatrix® will be able to perform completely programmable surgery with almost no human intervention – starting with corneal incisions, a capsulotomy, full Photoemulsification® of the nucleus and relaxing incisions for the correction of astigmatism. The surgeon will make extensive use of the system’s I/A fluidics and, in the most challenging cases, can use the built-in phacoemulsification module.

Laser beam shape becomes programmable in real-time

FemtoMatrix® for the first time, technology embedded in an ophthalmic surgical device will be used to automatically program the shape of the laser beam with a photonic module acting in real time on the wavefront to optimize the speed, sharpness, and precision of the cut.

Thus the laser will be able to simultaneously produce several spots with an adjustable matrix (number of spots, distance, and position in space), or to produce spots of complex geometries to augment the quality of the cuts.

The end result is high-speed emulsification of the lens that no other technology is capable of achieving.

FemtoMatrix® and FMC-Docking kit Important Product Information

INDICATIONS:

FemtoMatrix Intended medical purpose: The intended use of the FemtoMatrix®, used with an FMC-Docking Kit, is to treat cataracts using photonic technology.

A cataract procedure performed on the FemtoMatrix® system may involve anterior capsulotomy, phacofragmentation (PhotoEmulsification®) and clear corneal incisions.

FMC-Docking Kit Intended medical purpose: The intended use of the FMC-Docking Kit, used with the FemtoMatrix®, is to immobilize the patient’s eye and to offset or neutralize the optical power of the cornea so that the FemtoMatrix® laser may function as intended during the procedure.

Intended users : The medical users are ophthalmic surgeons properly trained for the use of FemtoMatrix®system and FMC-Docking Kit.

Contraindications: Contraindications for FemtoMatrix® surgery include the following:

  • A corneal ring and/or inlay implant(s)
  • A corneal transplant
  • Severe corneal opacities, corneal abnormalities, significant corneal edema, diminished aqueous clarity that can obscure OCT imaging of the anterior lens capsule
  • Descementocele with impending corneal rupture
  • Medical or ocular comorbidity making surgery with femtolaser unreasonably risky
  • Pediatric use is not permitted.

All patients must be made aware of the aforementioned contraindications.

ATTENTION: Refer to the FemtoMatrix® and FMC-Docking kit User’s Manuals for a complete listing of indications, warnings and precautions.
