Cataracts are a common condition that significantly impacts daily life, causing many people to struggle. However, cataract surgery can restore or greatly improve patients' vision. KNF vacuum pumps are an essential component of the medical devices used for such precise surgeries. KNF offers a diverse lineup of diaphragm pumps for cataract surgery. For debris removal, the N 813 is a strong option. It achieves a maximum vacuum of 0.5 mbar (absolute), a maximum flow rate of 13 l/min, and a maximum pressure of 0.3 bar (relative). The N 813 provides stable, reliable performance with a compact design. It can be equipped with a customizable state-of-the-art BLDC motor that enables precise flow control. Its configuration and motor allow for low-speed operation, ensuring the necessary flow rate and vacuum for cataract surgery while reducing noise and vibration.
