The Endo Optiks E2 Surgical System Console houses a 175w Xenon light source, a compact 810nm diode laser and a high resolution video camera. The laser output, pulse width, light and aiming beam intensity are controllable and parameters are displayed on a back-lit, front-panel LED. A foot pedal enables hands-free operation. For safety, there is an emergency shut-off button. The rear panel features connectors for video monitors, recording devices and video printers.
The E2 and the Endo Optiks Triple function micro-endoscopes are use to perform Endoscopic CycloPhotocoagulation, better known as ECP. ECP is a surgical approach to glaucoma management that employs light, endoscopy and visualized laser application. The ciliary body (which produces aqueous humour) is viewed by the surgeon, from the anterior or posterior segment, through the endoscope in real time. The target tissues are easily and accurately identified utilizing endoscopy and an integrated aiming beam (640nm diode laser). This allows discrete treatment of the targeted ciliary processes with clear laser ablation and minimized trauma to peripheral (non targeted) tissues. ECP is especially suited for combination with cataract surgery, it is titratable and ECP can treat all forms of glaucoma.
The OME 2000 includes the Console housing the diode laser, light source and video camera, a separate footswitch control, and flight case. Also available are a medical Grade Monitor and a Cart designed for compatibility with modern operating rooms.
