VANTAGEPLUS LED SLIMLINE
Keeler
■ The VantagePlus LED Slimline improves image clarity and ease of examination with a comfortable, wireless instrument. The LED technology increases imaging quality and reduces environmental impact.
The Slimline uses an LED lamp for a brighter, whiter light that illuminates the retina with greater detail. Its intelligent optical system automatically changes the optics and mirrors when the aperture is adjusted, improving examinations by providing 3D stereoscopic views of the retina through all pupil sizes. A recently patented Himag lens provides 1.6x additional magnification compared to a standard condensing lens.
The new slimline lithium battery weighs less than two ounces and provides up to six hours of use on a single charge, according to the company.

STEINERT MALYUGIN RING MANIPULATOR
Rhein Medical, Inc
■ The Steinert Malyugin Ring Manipulator, developed in coordination with Roger F. Steinert, MD, is designed to facilitate the placement of all four loops of the Malyugin ring at the beginning of a case and to re move the loops from the pupil at the conclusion.
The size and shape of the extension tip and the breadth of the arm allow manipulations in all necessary directions, so that one instrument is able to maneuver the ring in all necessary directions. The Malyugin ring loops can be easily shifted in all directions in the plane of the iris as well as elevated or depressed.

The 1.08x magnification of the HR Centralis improves visualization capabilities with pupils as small as 4 mm. Volk's patented double-aspheric glass design eliminates distortion and improves stereopsis to the periphery of the 88° field of view. A reduced-size housing simplifies manipulation of the HR Centralis within the orbit.
