• Less waste, lower cost. The
Revolver Laser Probe System from
Katalyst Surgical promises to cut
your femtosecond laser case costs in
half. It's made up of 3 components:
the handpiece, a universal connector
that attaches to the laser unit and a
single-use laser fiber — the only part of the system that's disposed
of after each case. The handpiece comes in a variety of tip styles and
is made of titanium and high-quality stainless steel, which provide
surgeons with a better feel than fully disposable options. It's compat-
ible with all femto units on the market. The 3 components cost $280.
After that initial investment, the single-use laser fiber runs $70 per
case, much less than the $150 you'd pay for fully disposable probes.
• 2-in-1 laser. Give your center and
surgeons some versatility with Ziemer's
Z8 Femto, a mobile femtosecond laser
platform for performing cataract sur-
gery and LASIK procedures. The plat-
form, which received FDA clearance
last October, uses lower energy than
other femto lasers on the market, mak-
ing it gentler on the eye. The unit's flex-
ible arm and mobility let you bring the
laser to the patient, meaning surgeons can perform the laser and
manual portions of cataract surgery in the same location.
