Oertli Instrumente

Oertli® Instrumente AG was founded by Heinz A. Oertli in 1955. Manual skill and creative ideas boosted rapidly developing ophthalmological surgery. Apart from manual instruments of remarkable "Swiss Quality", genuinely pioneering products such as implants for enucleation (1957), sterile suture material and acus material (1959) were produced at an early stage. ??International establishment of Oertli Instrumente AG began from 1965 with the development of the first instruments Europe-wide for the removal of the vitreous body (vitrectomy) in collaboration with Prof. Rudolf Klöti (Zurich, Switzerland). This pioneering act made retina operations possible for the first time ever. Since then, Oertli has kept its leading position in this field and has assured it with ground-breaking equipment for cataract surgery. The brand name Oertli® and the symbol of the eagle enjoy high esteem throughout the world. We are an independent company in family ownership and employ over 130 people.
