NIDEK CO., LTD., an ophthalmic, optometric, and lens edging equipment company, announced today its launch of the YC-200 S plus Ophthalmic YAG and SLT Laser System / YC-200 Ophthalmic YAG Laser System. The YC-200 S plus / YC-200 is the advanced successor to the YC-1800 laser and builds on the YC-1800 technology by incorporating newer optical designs, engineering and software advances to ensure precise targeting of pathology while ensuring efficacious treatments and enhancing surgeon visualization of laser delivery.
The optical system improvements optimize the system’s resolution and contrast. An expanded focal depth and natural-colored bright LED illumination provide unparalleled views of the pathology and treatment. Two rotatable aiming beams for YAG mode and a parfocal aiming beam for SLT mode help the surgeon in accurately targeting pathology.
NIDEK has included YAG laser system enhancements to the YC-200 S plus / YC-200 that achieve 1.6 mJ plasma threshold in air*. These enhancements allow for robust, homogeneous laser energy delivery. The YC-200 S plus offers an advanced SLT mode that includes SLT-NAVI, which is an intuitive display of the real-time progress of laser treatment. An ergonomic design and optimized working distance works to minimize surgeon fatigue.
“The suite of technologies incorporated in the YC line of lasers allows surgeons to treat pathology with greater precision.” says Motoki Ozawa, President and CEO of NIDEK CO., LTD. “The optical and software advances that we have incorporated in the YC lasers ensure safe and efficacious treatments that are delivered ‘Right on the Mark’.”
