35 year success story
1989
Hans Peter Bräm, after his time at Oertli®, decides for self-employment and successfully founds the company H.P. Braem AG. This marks the start of a long history as a pioneer in ophthalmology.
1996
The 28kHz phaco handpieces, existing in the 3rd generation, with the compatible phaco tips and sleeves, are developed. The handpiece distinguishes itself over the years as very robust and extremely durable. Thanks to the material, titanium, it is also very light.
2004
The world's first 23G trocar system for vitrectomy is developed and manufactured by H.P. Braem AG. To this day, the size of 23G is standard size for efficienty and good performance in vitrectomy. H.P. Braem AG nowadays has a broad portfolio with different 1- and 2-step trocars. The 1-step trocars are characterized by their razor-sharp blades and all trocars have excellent tightness during and after the surgeries. The trocars have proven themselves over 180'000 times!
2005
H.P. Braem AG continues its role as a pioneer in ophthalmology by developing, together with Visel Medizintechnik GmbH, the world's first and only machine washable cryo probe.
The probes are approved for Erbe and Optikon units and stand out for their extraordinarily long service interval of 2 years or 100 reprocessing cycles.
2014
