Description
The SOVEREIGN® System offers new WHITESTAR™ Technology, which transforms traditional ultrasound into digitally modulated phaco. WHITESTAR™ Technology dramatically reduces the amount of phaco energy directed into the eye while still providing full ultrasound cutting efficiency. Surgeons have noted that nuclear fragments are drawn safely and efficiently to the phaco tip, in a phenomenon that has been termed "magnetic” followability. The result is visibly clearer corneas POD1* without changing technique.
The SOVEREIGN® System is also known for advanced capsular protection. A patented system of microprocessor sensors digitally monitors anterior chamber conditions. The system detects pressure variations at the phaco tip and responds instantaneously, virtually eliminating postocclusion surges.
