Company Description Today, Katalyst is the face of Retina surgical instrument development. However, many do not know about the brand's modest early days.
Learn more about the Katalyst history below, including what inspired the famous Katalyst logo, along with some of Katalyst Scheller's favorite Developments throughout the years.
Coming from humble beginnings, Katalyst's history dates back to 1985, where founder Gregg Scheller created the Advanced Surgical Products brand with just 2 partners.
The first ASP model was introduced later that year and was the invention of the first disposable light pipe for Retina surgical endoillumination.
This first prototype was produced in 1985 on a kitchen table. A few years later, in 1990, the manufacturer produced over 180,000 lightpipes on an annual basis. This supplied the entirety of the industry, including the Storz, Alcon, and Grieshaber brands.
Today, when Retina Surgeons all over the world think of the Katalyst brand, they think of surgical innovation — and rightly so.
Katalyst now produces many different models that deliver strong surgical performance and offer a variety of unique performance and ergonomic design features that distinguish the Katalyst brand.
