At Euretina 2025 in Paris last week, ZEISS Medical Technology unveiled the TDC Veloce, a new high-speed vitreoretinal cutter designed to increase cutting efficiency and maintain intraoperative control. The cutter features a two-dimensional cutting (TDC) mechanism, which performs tissue cuts on both the forward and return strokes of the vitrectome, reaching speeds of up to 10,000 cuts per minute per stroke. This design aims to enhance precision during vitreous shaving, the company said in a press release.

The TDC Veloce is part of the DORC EVA Nexus phacovitrectomy system and incorporates uses a fluidics system and pressure-regulation technology to support consistent intraoperative intraocular pressure. It also provides improved aspiration flow for 25-gauge and 27-gauge instruments, greater shaft stiffness for peripheral access, and an ergonomic contoured grip. These features are intended to facilitate smoother vitreous removal while maintaining consistent intraocular pressure.

ZEISS also highlighted updates to its visualization and diagnostic platforms at Euretina. The Artevo 750 and 850 digital ophthalmic microscopes now feature ZEISS Callisto eye software with higher magnification and improved reference image alignment. Single-use Resight lenses provide clearer views of the posterior segment. On the diagnostic side, the CE-marked Cirrus PathFinder uses AI to support OCT image review, while the Clarus 700 enables simultaneous FA-ICG imaging. The company’s Research Data Platform is designed to support multi-center AI-driven studies, promoting both clinical research and integrated retina care workflows. RP
