Multifunctional foot control for phacoemulsification
What is the most widely performed operation worldwide? Answered correctly on "Who wants to be a millionaire?" this question could quite probably win you a five figure sum. As a candidate, your best chance of winning would be to have an opthalmologist friend waiting at the other end of a phone line, since the correct answer is cataract treatment. In Germany alone, around 600,000 cataract operations are performed each year, and in this field phacoemulsification is becoming increasingly important.
This gentle procedure makes high demands on a surgeon's ability to concentrate, however, as well as on the ergonomics and precision of the man-machine interface. Steute's foot control panel, which the company's medical technology division developed for a leading manufacturer of phacoemulsification devices, lives up to these expectations 100 percent.
