Focus on Corneal Topographers

THE ATLAS SYSTEM (MODEL 995)

Carl Zeiss Meditec

■ The Atlas System (Model 995) features include advanced Arc-Step Algorithm, true elevation data and aspheric surface reconstruction. The system is ideal for primary care, pathology detection, corneal refractive surgery management and contact lens fitting applications, says CZM.

The 22-ring placido cone presents a large limbus-to-limbus field of view and its spacing is designed to avoid ring crossover. The patented Cone-of- Focus technology delivers superior electronic alignment for greater repeatability and accuracy, says CZM. The patient chinrest positions the patient for wide peripheral coverage, and the system's large working distance promotes accurate and comfortable image capture, even on patients with deep orbital fissures. The Atlas System also has automatic pupil measurement and USB and Ethernet capabilities to support network data storage and printing.

ACTIPATCH

Barron Medical

■ ActiPatch, manufactured by BioElectronics Corporation, is a medical device that delivers pulsed electromagnetic frequency (PEMF) therapy in a small patient-applied patch to accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries. A reduction of pain and swelling allows patients to return to normal activities sooner, says Barron. ActiPatch facial mask is used to reduce bruising and assist healing after blepharoplasty procedures. ActiPatch is sensation-free and relieves discomfort without drugs, ice or ointments.

Testing has shown that ActiPatch Therapy provides an adequate dosage of electromagnetic energy for the treatment of soft tissue, and that its power at the skin level is equivalent to that of traditional high-power devices. The power level is six to nine orders of magnitude higher than that which is required to show a biological effect. It also demonstrated that the cumulative effect of continuous delivery provides a greater therapeutic benefit than sporadic treatments.
