That’s the idea behind Sophi.
We redefined what a perfect phaco system should be by focusing on the needs of the surgeon, the surgical team, and everyone involved.
The result is a high-end device that sets new standards.

Sophi is a high-end Phaco system designed with mobility, simplicity and safety in mind.
Sophi is the first wireless phaco system to give the surgical team true flexibility and mobility, resulting in easier operating room handling and increased usability.
Sophi is designed to be simple and straightforward. The complexity lies within the device, enabling intuitive handling, saving time, and increasing productivity.
Sophi opens up new avenues in hygiene and safety. The Clean Venturi and automated cassette slot-in system reduce the risk of contamination. The IOP Control Pump is designed for high chamber stability.
Altogether, the benefits of Sophi’s 3-Pillar-Concept facilitate simpler, safer and faster operating procedures – before, during and after the case. This significantly increases efficiency and also yields economic benefits.
Set up, operate, and rearrange. Again and again. You want a device that moves easily and conveniently. By using the possibilities of modern technology, we freed Sophi from cumbersome cables and tubes. This step gives you greater flexibility and represents a meaningful workflow improvement in the operating room.
The first battery-powered Phaco system
With Sophi, the foot pedal is wireless and the device itself requires no power cable and no data cables. This mobility simplifies your work and enhances efficiency.
Integrated compressor
The compressors for vitrectomy and Clean Venturi aspiration are also integrated into the device, eliminating the need for the usual bulky, inflexible tubing connected to an external compressor.
Freedom thanks to mobility
Sophi is incredibly adaptable. The 180° rotatable display and freedom to choose the tray position makes setup easier in the operating room. Moving the device is very simple. Release the mono-Brake Handle, move Sophi to the desired location, and apply the brake.
Ready for the future
Today, a wireless Bluetooth foot pedal connection is standard. Sophi goes beyond this by enabling live microscope images to be transmitted to the display over Wi-Fi.
Sophi is not just an advancement of existing technology, but also a complete innovation.
Complexity, simply designed.
The surgical team should be able to focus fully on the case, and Sophi helps make that possible. Modern assistance systems and smart control elements create a smooth workflow.
Sophi is easy to parameterize, uses intelligent sensor technology to support you, and automatically adjusts parameters when needed.
Sophi Impresses with its slim, reduced design. Nonetheless, everything needed for both ergonomic and safe usage in in place. Clear lines, high-quality materials, and numerous innovative solutions make Sophi a system that sets new benchmarks.
Sophi communicates with you not only through the display, but also verbally with Text2Speech and visually with color changing LED projection. This ensures that every member of the surgical team receives the information they need to perform their tasks with focus and efficiency.
Sophi is easy to operate, clear to understand, and quick to use. The system boots up rapidly, and the Multi Surgeons Settings allow you to configure it to your preferences.
The surgical team should be able to focus entirely on the surgery.
The most effective way to ensure safety is to eliminate uncertainty at every step. That is exactly what we have done with Sophi.
We reviewed the entire process chain and created an integrated safety system that meets the highest standards of process stability, precision and hygiene.
The centerpiece of every phaco device is the pumping system that provides stable chamber fluidics. In Sophi, this means three pumping systems combined into one:
1. IOP Control Pump for stable infusion pressure 2. Peristaltic Pump to control the flow and vacuum 3. Clean Venturi Pump that protects against contamination from the patient’s eye fluids
The less energy a phaco handpiece requires, the less heat is transferred into the eye. That is why Sophi controls the handpiece with a sinusoidal signal, significantly reducing energy consumption and helping to protect the eye.
Every detail of Sophi is designed with safety in mind, without compromise. Sophi features an automatic Cassette Slot-in-System that reduces the risk of contact between sterile and non-sterile areas during loading.
The most efficient way to make a system safe is to eliminate uncertainty systematically.
