Cassini Launches Cassini Connect Digital Cataract Surgery Suite

Cassini announced the launch of the Cassini Connect, a digital cataract surgery suite compatible with most leading microscope brands, at the 2023 ASCRS meeting.  

Cassini Connect offers an integrated cataract surgery workflow and data solution, from pre-op diagnostics, digital ocular registration and marking, to cloud based surgery planning and intra-op visualization and guidance. According to Cassini, the Cassini Connect digital suite allows cataract surgeons to save 7 minutes per patient spent on the conventional method of using preoperative corneal ink marking by using the Cassini digital ocular registration instead [1].

The integrated platform allows the pre-op diagnostic data to feed into a cloud-based planner which is accessible from any laptop or smart device.

“The Cassini Cloud Planner is operated with few steps, easy to use, streamlined and accessible from anywhere,” Trey Bishop, MD, from Bishop Eye Center in Hilton Head SC, said in the news release. 

Once the plan is approved by the surgeon, the data is sent to the OR–creating a worklist containing relevant data for surgery. Each surgical plan is then translated to a customizable surgical overlay which is displayed on a monitor. This allows for increased accuracy of the cataract surgery procedure, with image registration and toric IOL axis alignment within 3 degrees[1].

One of the benefits of the Cassini Connect suite is that it is compatible with most leading microscopes. This makes it a very financially attractive upgrade to all surgeons who want to increase their premium cataract volumes with improved accuracy, and by saving substantial (OR) time per patient. 

Cassini Connect is being presented at the ASCRS meeting, booth 745, and available for sale in the US market. Robert Weinstock, MD; Greg Hazen, MD; and Mark Packer, MD will be presenting clinical data at the meeting.
