Engineered to meet the diverse needs of modern surgical environments, the Quatera 700 delivers outstanding image quality, enhanced depth perception, and advanced visualization capabilities. It marks a milestone in cataract surgery. Its ZEISS patented QUATTRO Pump is designed to ensure chamber stability independent of IOP and flow. The digitally integrated surgical workflow combines data from other devices in the new ZEISS Cataract Workflow, making ZEISS QUATERA 700 medical practitioner’s single sterile cockpit for cataract procedures.
