Focus on Pachymetry Devices

PACHPEN

Accutome
■ The PachPen's ergonomic design makes taking measurements quick and easy. The unit has the ability to take nine readings and average them. In addition, the IOP correction calculator converts entered IOP measurements from a tonometer in seconds. Accutome says its Digital Signal Analysis actually examines waveforms and eliminates marginally aligned measurements.

VISANTE

Carl Zeiss Meditec
■ The Visante OCT system provides clear, highly detailed anterior segment images — including the angle — without the need for ocular anesthesia or a time-consuming water bath. Versatile in application, Visante OCT high-resolution corneal and anterior segment images, combined with analytical tools, support the evaluation of narrow-angle and ocular health.

Additionally, Visante OCT can image, measure and document post-LASIK flap and residual stromal bed thickness without touching the eye. Accurate and repeatable pachymetry map and pachymetry difference map results support refractive and glaucoma care. Optional modules enable AC-angle quantification as well as preoperative phakic IOL simulation.

PACHMATE DGH55

DGH Technology
■ The DGH Pachette is the exclusive Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) pachymeter. There are over 10,000 DGH pachymeters in use around the world. The DGH 55 Pachmate handheld is one the world's lightest pachymeters. The Pachette 3 has all the features of the very best pachymeters, but at a lower economical price, says DGH. The Pachmate and the Pachette 3 were designed specifically for glaucoma and LASIK screening.

CC-7000 AND THE SP-9000

Konan Medical, Inc.
■ Both Konan's CC-7000 and the SP-9000 have a built-in pachymeter. The device uses an electro-optical method to measure the thickness of the cornea. The CC-7000 measures the cornea thickness at the same time it photographs the endothelium. The SP-9000 model has a separate mode for increased accuracy. Pachymetry measurements are possible in five different quadrants on the cornea, which can be displayed on the readout.

PALMSCAN P2000

Micro Medical Devices, Inc.
■ The PalmScan P2000 is a true surgical pachymeter with patient database capabilities that allow quick access to patient pachymetry results. It has a 17-location corneal-mapping capability that becomes highly useful for capturing corneal thickness at non-central corneal locations. The P2000 device offers the option of a 50 MHz pachymeter probe that makes corneal measurements at the limbus easy to perform. This option is highly recommended to customers who are interested in the exclusive LRI-Nomogram features of the PalmScan.

Weighing 8 ounces and operating on dual rechargeable batteries, the PalmScan easily fits into a pocket. With the highest sampling frequency of any competing product, PalmScan immersion capable A-scan and pachymeter devices deliver the highest level of accuracy available on the market, says the company.

Quantel Medical
■ The versatile and easy-to-use Pocket II pachymeter is programmable for refractive surgery or glaucoma screening. With this portable precision pachymeter powered by 4 AA batteries or AC power, users can easily move between exam rooms or satellite offices, says Quantel. A direct connection to a computer via the Visuscan software allows data processing of examinations. With a measurement range of 200 to 999 μm and accuracy of ±5 μm, the Pocket II is designed to measure corneal thickness in a wide variety of clinical and surgical applications. The Quantel Medical Pocket II pachymeter combines ease of use with one-touch accuracy, precision and reliability, says Quantel.

OCULAR RESPONSE ANALYZER

Reichert
■ The Reichert Ocular Response Analyzer not only enables the measurement of central-corneal thickness, it also presents a direct measure of corneal biomechanical properties. This new measurement, called corneal hysteresis, is an indicator of the overall integrity of the cornea, providing more complete information than thickness alone.

The system is able to present IOPcc, a new measure of IOP that correlates with Goldmann, but is less affected by corneal properties, such as elasticity, resistance and thickness.

PACSCAN

Sonomed
■ The Sonomed PacScan is a portable, digital pachymeter with intuitive touch-screen operation and automatic scan capture. The 20 MHz transducer provides excellent accuracy and measurements as thin as 125 μm, says Sonomed. On-board diagnostic system calibration and probe sensitivity tests are performed automatically to ensure accurate and repeatable readings. PacScan is available as a stand-alone pachymeter or combined A-scan/pachymeter.

SP-100 HANDY PACHYMETER

Tomey
■ The Tomey SP-100 Handy Pachymeter weighs only 19 ounces and provides highly accurate measurements of central corneal thickness. The SP-100 offers IOP calculations, built-in printer and an RS-232C communication port for quick recording and easy data output to office computers. The built-in rechargeable battery enables wireless operation. The easy-to-read print out includes patient ID, name and measured date.

EAGLE EYE 3000

Vision Medical Instruments
■ Vision Medical Instruments' Eagle Eye 3000 is a user-friendly, precision pachymeter. Its 0.25 μm precision and ±1 μm repeatability makes it unnecessary to perform any additional "filtering" or "averaging." It has a built-in printer/computer interface and is the only pachymeter compatible with OfficeMate Practice Management Software. Vision says the Eagle Eye 3000 is the only pachymeter that selfcalibrates. This feature provides accurate performance for the life of the unit. Vision Medical offers a 5-year warranty.

INTRAOCULAR RULER

Rhein Medical, Inc.
■ The Henry 24g millimeter ruler, developed in coordination with Michael M. Henry, M.D., slides easily through a 1 mm paracentesis and is configured like a spatula for easy and effective sweeping of the iris and manipulation of a nucleus. The shaft is strong enough to be used as a rotator, as well as for manually dissecting a nucleus. The anterior surface contains 10 dimples spaced exactly 1 mm apart. The fifth dimple is larger than the others for quick and easy reference to a 5 mm distance, making it ideal for measuring the size of a capsulorrhexis. Because the new accommodative lenses are capsulorrhexis-size dependent, the Henry ruler solves the guesswork in sizing the rhexis, says Rhein.
