Accessories
VERITAS Swivel Handpiece
The VERITAS Swivel phaco handpiece ( Figure 1-2 ) is the next generation handpiece from
JJSV. Its front metal housing is able to rotate independently of its rear housing that is
connected to the tubing and cable, thus reducing surgeon hand fatigue. The VERITAS Swivel
phaco handpiece provides both longitudinal and transversal movement. You can use the
handpiece with a straight tip or a curved tip. The handpiece is lightweight, slim, and easy to
clean and sterilize with conventional steam autoclave methods.

WHITESTAR Handpiece
The design of the WHITESTAR phaco handpiece has a straight-through aspiration channel
for more efficient removal of nuclear fragments, to minimize clogging and to facilitate
cleaning. The handpiece is lightweight, slim, and well-balanced, making it comfortable to
use and easy to control.
ELLIPS FX Handpiece
The ELLIPS FX phaco handpiece is available for use with the VERITAS Vision System. The
ELLIPS FX handpiece provides both longitudinal and transversal movement. You can use the
handpiece with a straight tip or a curved tip.
WHITESTAR Technology
The VERITAS Vision System incorporates WHITESTAR Technology to deliver finely
modulated pulses of energy, interrupted by extremely brief cooling periods. This allows the
system to achieve full ultrasound cutting efficiency and magnetic followability, while
introducing less energy into the eye. Minimized ultrasonic time reduces the risk of thermal
damage.
