YAG Laser Capsulotomy System

Yag Laser Capsulotomy is a procedure intended to correct posterior capsule opacity. This can occur after cataract surgery when the capsule becomes cloudy because of healing scar tissue. This is a fairly common condition post-operatively. The Yag Laser creates a tiny hole in the posterior membrane to allow the passage of light through and to restore clear and unobstructed vision. This laser is also used for the treatment of other ophthalmological treatment such as acute closed-angle glaucoma.

Most Yag Lasers are semi-portable and intended to be used from room to room for outpatient procedures. As with any surgery, there are risks including detachment of the retina, however, overall these lasers are very safe and boast a simple to use approach.

Features
  • Capsulotomy and Iridotomy
  • Perfoms procedures at lower, more efficient power levels
  • IOL-friendly photodisruption
Quantel Medical’s proprietary technology is based on an engineering breakthrough, which enables infrared and visible green nanosecond pulses to be produced by single dual-mode cavity: 532nm and 1064nm.
This last technology reduces complexity and results in a more elegant, advanced combination laser platform.

Optimis Fusion includes convergent optical path allowing an optimized visualization of both anterior and posterior segment, a better visual comfort, combined with a blue-free LED illumination.

A Glaucoma, Cataract and Retina Laser in One :
Optimis Fusion easily combines with Quantel Medical Vitra or Vitra Multispotgreen photocoagulators.

Main characteristics:
  • Advanced technology: dual-mode laser cavity, 532nm and 1064nm
  • Premium Optics
  • Integrated platform with a compact footprint
  • A Glaucoma, Cataract and Retina Laser platform combined with Vitra or Vitra Multispot
The New Dimension of Disruption
  • Integrated Zeiss Laser Slit Lamp with precision optics
  • Maximum ease of use with the lowest amount of patient stress.
  • High pulse repetition frequency of 2.5Hz enables fast procedures.
  • Super-Gaussian beam profile allows typical clinical procedures to be performed with less energy - Optical breakdown can be achieved with as little as 2.5mJ (in air).
  • 4-point aiming beam - allows for precise focusing and indicates any astigmatic distortion, allowing for energy adjustments before firing the laser.
  • Variable focus shift: 0, +150µm, -150µm.
  • Ergonomic design guarantees unobstructed visual contact with the patient and free access to the eye.
  • The control console contains a large illuminated display for menu-guided operation.
Optional:
  • Foot switch
  • ACCENTO eyepiece, displays critical parameters in operators view for increased awareness and efficiency
  • Tonometer
    • Available as VISULAS YAG III Combi and VISULAS Trion Combi combining their respective feature sets.
Fully Integrated: It is the only system that fully integrates photocoagulation with photodisruption via a Zeiss laser slit lamp.
  • System parameters adjustable via anti-reflective touch screen control - Also includes PowerPress control for easy power adjustments.
  • Both systems can be used independently at any given time for maximum versatility at your practice.
Premium Photodisruption (YAG III) Features:
  • High pulse repetition frequency of 2.5Hz enables fast procedures.
