The Bi-Flex Platform

CloseA winning co-polymer

An optimum blend of hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers having complementary properties as

  • Excellent pseudo-plasticity thanks to hydrophobic monomers
  • Superior pre-insertion folding capacity and a post-insertion unfolding with perfect recovery of the optical properties thanks to hydrophilic monomers
  • Both combined granting a low ionicity of the surface resulting in low rates of cell adhesion

Read1.8mm Micro-Incision

  • A combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers offers a unique pseudo-plasticity and remarkable form memory
  • A special geometry of the closed-loop design with excellent compressibility facilitates the injection through micro-incision
  • MEDJET MB and MEDJET MC Injection Kits as the suitable hydraulic injection systems

Read180° Contact angle between the loops and capsule

The specific Bi-flex closed-loop haptic design offers optimum calibration of the compression forces:

  • Excellent axial/torsional stability to prevent vaulting and tilting
  • Unmatched centration and radial stability by haptics that do not overlap
  • Minimum capsular folds by optimal filling up of the capsular bag

ReadNeutral asphericity approach

  • Eliminating the pre-existing spherical aberration of the crystalline lens
  • Preserving some depth of field by leaving the physiological corneal aberration untouched
  • Compensating the physiological ocular asymmetries (KAPPA angle)

Read360° Sharp edge that deserves the name

The Bi-Flex design: a perfect square edge around the whole outline of the implant (r <10μ). A "polish-free" manufacturing ensures the sharpest possible edges.

Read“Natural” yellow filter

Filtering as much as necessary – preserving as much as possible.

For a balanced protection of the macula against UV-A and blue light by an absorption curve close to that of the human crystalline lens, preserving the natural colour perception and contrast sensitivity.

Whole power range injectable through a 1.8 mm incision

„So far I used different IOLs for different purposes. But now, with the Medicontur Bi-Flex 1.8 we have a lens that could be called an All-In-One solution: hydrophilic-hydrophobic copolymers, 6mm/13mm, aspheric, vast contact angle, 360° square edge, flexible yet resistant haptics, an extensive range of power - and all of this injectable through 1.8mm! What's next?”

„Micro-Incision seems to be one of the main trends in the cataract surgery. Until now I did not follow this trend because I did not trust in these so-called MICS IOLs favouring incision size to the detriment of IOL stability or visual quality. Now we got a Micro-Incision IOL without compromise: the Medicontur Bi-Flex 1.8. This lens made me change my mind regarding sub-2mm IOLs.”
Dr Gabor Scharioth • Germany

„I am impressed by the 180° contact angle of the Medicontur Bi-Flex IOL within the capsular bag. This is the largest contact angle I was ever presented by a single piece IOL. You can see clearly the positive influence on the IOL's stability: less capsular folds, less decentration. After a long evolution in the field of single-piece IOL designs, the Bi-Flex has reached a level of perfection that I, and probably many others, have spent many years waiting for.”
