A leading medical manufacturer requested the development of an advanced laser cataract removal and corneal surgery instrument system. The goal was to develop an intuitive, ergonomically advanced platform that is totally articulated by the surgeon during the operation, eliminating the surgeon's assistant, thus improving accuracy, quality and speed of results.

An ambitious undertaking, requiring the invention and implementation of a unique, patented, ergonomic device. A main systems control, 12-position surgeon-operated foot control and an IR remote were developed, resulting in innovations that increase the system's overall speed and accuracy, while decreasing operator fatigue. This development effort is another excellent example of a program collaboration, yielding an outstanding and successful precision instrument of high quality and durability under rapid timelines.
