The new VacuFix by Ophtec is a vacuum enclavation system for all Artisan family lenses. This technique was recently added to the methods officially prescribed by OPHTEC, the enclavation needle and the enclavation forceps, to fix the lens to the iris. The VacuFix comprises two holders with an aspiration tip that can be attached to the phaco machine. A vacuum is created to clip a precise and replicable amount of iris tissue between the haptics of the lenses. The advantages of this technique are precision for the patient and surgeon, speed and convenience and, accordingly, comfort for the patient.
