KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS
• Torsional mode is an improved ultrasound phacoemulsification modality with increased efficacy and better patient outcomes versus longitudinal ultrasound mode:
- less ultrasound time required and improvements in thermal profiles
- less postoperative increase in corneal thickness and reduced endothelial cell loss
• The Legion® System is a compact, advanced gravity-based phacoemulsification platform:
- uses OZil® torsional phacoemulsification technology providing surgical efficiency and better postoperative outcomes in regard to endothelial cell loss and corneal condition when compared to the traditional longitudinal ultrasound
- delivers predictable chamber stability through an advanced gravity-based system with fluidics sensors for irrigation and aspiration
