Detailed Information
Compact and comprehensive, powerful but handy
The Cube α incorporates a number of unique features for a comprehensive, handy platform to perform cataract surgery. This device incorporates new ultrasound technology that delivers more powerful and effective phacoemulsification. |
Gyro torsional technology
The Cube α incorporates Gyro torsional technology in a compact body. Torsional ultrasound oscillation ensures efficient delivery of ultrasound energy especially for moderate cataracts. Design enhancements increase surgical safety by protecting intraocular tissues.
Easy maneuverability
The Gyro tip for torsional ultrasound oscillation is designed to make the tip as straight as possible. The relatively straight shape of the tip enables surgeons to easily perform various surgical maneuvers.
Less fluid turbulence
The Gyro tip’s design which maintains a relatively straight shape, minimizes fluid turbulence during lens emulsification. Decreasing fluid turbulence from ultrasound oscillation can increase surgical efficiency.
Efficient performance
Fragmentation ability
Torsional movement of the Gyro handpiece maximizes ultrasound energy delivery for faster lens fragmentation. Torsional oscillation improves holdability by reducing the instances of repulsion between the nucleus and phaco tip normally caused by longitudinal ultrasound oscillation.

Fluid dynamics
The improved stiffness profile of newly designed Neo sleeve series is unaffected by the compression force from the wound which directly relates to the fluid dynamics within the capsule. Better fluid dynamics enhance followability and increase phacoemulsification efficiency. |
Variable ultrasound setting
Torsional and longitudinal oscillation can be combined to create customized oscillation patterns for different surgical techniques and nucleus hardness. Power and pulse duty can be controlled by varying the pressure exerted on the foot pedal.
Enhanced safety
Stable anterior chamber
A new sleeve design provides greater irrigation into the eye to maintain anterior chamber stability. The surge area caused by occlusion break has been minimized compared to the previous sleeve.

Blast finished tip
The edge of the Gyro tip end is slightly rounded and textured by a blast finishing process. The unique tip end reduces the risk of ocular tissue damage during phacoemulsification.

Selectable tubing
The Cube α comes in two models based on the type of tubing: CV-9000 with a single-use cassette or CV-9000R with reusable tubing.

User friendly interface
ProPedal
The ProPedal mode allows customized programming of vacuum parameters, aspiration rate and US power at each foot pedal position. It enables subtle linear control of these parameters based on the level that the foot pedal is depressed. |
Multi-functional foot pedal
The multi-functional foot pedal with six side switches allows the surgeon to change modes, adjust bottle height and other parameters without using the monitor during surgery. Different controls can be assigned to the six switches on the foot pedal based on surgeon preference. |
Simple display
The intuitive touch-screen display presents parameters in large, easy-to-read sizes. A pop-up window is appeared to change parameters. |
Navi mode
The Navi mode displays the setup procedure with images. This simple tutorial provides guidance for new users on connecting accessories to the device. |
