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.
