As long ago as 1972 Oertli introduced bipolar diathermy as a pioneering technique in ophthalmological surgery. The high frequency current of 500 kHz chosen for endo- and macro-haemostasis at the time has proved optimal. Since then, by using various efficiency modulations, the application area has been extended to Capsulotomy as well as STT and IDK glaucoma surgery. The compact Klöti bipolar device allows for the use of all diathermy functions in areas where no complete Oertli operating platform is available.
The Klöti bipolar unit only weighs 2.8 kg, works on any power supply voltage from 100V up to 240V, has a DirectAccess® control panel and is controlled by the surgeon with a foot switch. All Oertli diathermy instruments can be used.
