A-SCAN PLUS
Accutome, Inc.

The A-Scan Plus provides users with a 7.5-inch screen with VGA resolution, an LCD screen and intuitive user interface. It has a high-resolution, real-time waveform display with up to 8x zoom pinpoint tissue boundaries and can capture up to
five waveforms for each eye, either automatically or manually.

In addition, the A-Scan Plus uses formulas including the Hoffer Q, Holladay, SRK/T and Haigis and compares results of all formulas simultaneously on a single screen for selected lenses. New post-refractive software and formulas include clinical history, contact lens and Shammas clinical methods. It also saves complete patient records, providing recall of records to review, re-measure, recalculate or print.

MICRO MEDICAL DEVICES
PalmScan AP2000

The PalmScan is the only battery-operated, fully portable, ultrasonic A-Scan/pachymeter combination biometer. Its pocket size, 10-ounce weight, and easy operation afford the freedom to treat patients anywhere, calculate IOL on the go or check biometry before surgery.

The AP2000 features integrated desktop software that securely stores, recalls and manages patient data. Additional features include wireless sync/printing, exclusive corneal waveform technology —
A-scan of the cornea, contact and immersion biometry, UAT — assuring visual axis alignment, automatic IOP adjustment, the latest IOL equations, adjustable gates system and gain settings, post-refractive correction, dense cataract penetration, corneal mapping and advanced pattern recognition.

P37 A/B SCAN
Paradigm Medical Industries

The P37 A/B Scan ultrasound system has on-screen icons and help screens to guide operators in running the system and a quad imaging feature that provides four different scans to view. The A/B Scan features include an A-Scan vector display and dual calipers for measuring ocular structures on-screen. Zoom and pan features allow for magnification and positioning of suspicious areas on the high-resolution monitor.

The A-Scan provides full-function biometry capabilities with third-generation IOL formulae and easy-to-use digital diagnostic
A-scanning for tissue characterization of intraocular and orbital lesions. The solid A-scan probe
with fixation light, offers easy alignment and precise axial length measurements, says Paradigm. Quiet and non-vibrating, the B-scan probe captures imagery at 40Þ and 60Þ to ensure thorough examination of the globe and orbit.

AXIS II PR
Quantel Medical

With the same precision and features as the original Axis II Precision A-Scan, the Axis II PR addresses the calculation challenge of post-refractive patients by providing, six formulas for normal eyes, and an additional six formulas for post-refractive eyes. Axis II is the only A-Scan with published clinical data to prove its clinical precision is equivalent to the laser interferometer, states Quantel.

VUMAX-II
Sonomed

VuMax-II is an ultrasonic bio-microscope high-resolution, high-frequency ultrasound system that provides unparalleled image resolution, precise measurement tools such as sulcus-to-sulcus and angle measurements in degrees, states Sonomed. Users can adjust their focus on different areas or structures within the anterior segment through four different preconfigured settings, providing unmatched resolution of angle structures and a clear view behind the iris, says Sonomed. Processing tools and proprietary image enhancing "Focus" software delivers clear, sharp details.  

The VuMax-II is PC-based, networkable and capable of storing up to 300 frames per session. The
18.5 mm x 14 mm deep-scanning field captures the entire anterior segment in one scan. The video clip recording capability allows playback, adjustment of Gain, TGC and
contrast.

AL-100 BIOMETER
Tomey

The Tomey AL-100 biometer is designed for fast, simple operation. Tone-assisted measurement notifies the operator when the probe is aligned and measurements recorded. The AL-100 calculates IOL power with a vast array of formulas: SRK II, SRK/T, Holladay, Haigis Standard, Haigis Optimized and Showa. Other formulas may be added as well. Entering patient and lens data is simple and direct with the large, easy-to-read touch screen. The AL-100 stores up to six patients in its internal memory and up to 240 patients in the optional memory card.  

The AL-100 also has a built-in printer that can print either a standard waveform and IOL calculation for both eyes, or more complete printout with all of the measured and calculated data for both eyes.

CARL ZEISS MEDITEC
IOL Master

The IOL Master has emerged as the standard of care where precise refractive outcomes are essential, as with the new multifocal and accommodative IOLs, says CZM. This easy-to-use, non-contact, all-in-one instrument measures axial length, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth and white-to-white. IOL power calculations include 3rd and 4th generation formulas as well as post-refractive surgery and phakic IOL modes. The enhanced platform offers new networking options and increased measurement speed for greater practice efficiency. An integrated lens constant optimization program allows for efficient personalization to enhance outcomes.

REFRACTIVE CATARACT SURGERY MARKERS
ASICO LLC

The Pre-Op Toric Marker/Intra-Op Toric Axis Reference marker features a radial pattern at the 3, 6 and
9 o'clock positions on both the anterior and posterior surface of the instrument, so it can be utilized for both the left and right eyes.
 

The Intra-Op Toric Axis Marker has fixed axis marks that are easily aligned with pre-op reference marks. The rotatable marker barrel allows precise location for the steep meridian while the built-in keratometer is used as a quick reference to confirm the steepest meridian.

BURNSTINE LACRIMAL CANNULA
Katena Products, Inc.

The Burnstine Lacrimal Cannula was developed by Michael Burnstine, M.D., for use in lacrimal irrigation

The Burnstine Lacrimal Cannula is a 23-gauge cannula featuring an end-opening port for direct irrigation and a tapered tip for ease of entry into an undilated punctum. The 13-mm length makes it ideal to probe as well as irrigate the proximal lacrimal system, eliminating the need for placement of Bowman probes to measure canalicular obstruction, says Katena.

GEGGEL CORNEAL CHILLER
Rhein Medical

The Chiller rests on the cornea using gravity to secure a water-tight seal.

The Geggel Chiller, developed in coordination with Harry S. Geggel, M.D., is designed to thoroughly chill the entire cornea before or after PRK, LASIK and LASEK surgery.

The instrument helps minimize corneal scarring, diminish postoperative haze, reduce pain to the patient and stabilize refractive results, says Rhein.
