itive for the versatile laser delivery.
I particularly like the idea of the pulsed laser delivery, which
would speed these procedures. Some physicians sit down, do 1
click at a time, and the team in the laser room knows it's going to
wait forever. With this
system, I can see how
the areas would be
577nm
532nm
647nm
more precisely targeted, which would minimize inflammation and
the potential for damage around the site. So
not only might you be
able to decrease procedure time, you also
might be able to minimize tissue trauma and
equal space pattern
multiple scanning modes
short pulse duration (20ms)
and spacing control
smooth the recovery
for patients.
Nidek's MC-500 Vixi, multicolor pattern scan laser with
actual spot-size calculation on the retina and display,
allows scanning with up to 21 customizable patterns.
Plus, the MC-500 Vixi offers reduced patient discomfort
and completion of PRPs in one or two sessions, which
greatly increases patient throughput. Now available with
equal space pattern and an auto-forward function!
