Lumibird Medical Merkur Super Q Photocoagulator

The Super Q is a specialized ophthalmic laser system designed for photodisruption and glaucoma treatment. It was originally developed under the Ellex brand, a pioneer in ophthalmic laser technologies based in Adelaide, Australia. The device is renowned for its precision and reliability in clinical environments, specifically for posterior capsulotomy and laser iridotomy.

In 2020, the Ellex laser and ultrasound business was acquired by the Lumibird Group, a French leader in laser technology. This strategic acquisition integrated Ellex's specialized medical expertise into the Lumibird Medical division. Today, while the brand legacy remains Australian, the ultimate ownership and strategic direction are French, with manufacturing continuing to leverage the established Australian production facilities for this specific product line.
