SONOMED A-SCAN

Description

The Medico A-Scan is an advanced ultrasound device designed for precise measurements of the eye, particularly useful in ophthalmology for assessing axial length and other key parameters prior to cataract surgery and other ocular procedures. Here’s a detailed description of its features and functionalities:

Key Features

1. Ultrasound Technology:
   • Utilizes high-frequency ultrasound waves to obtain accurate measurements of the eye’s structures, especially the axial length.
   • Provides real-time imaging for enhanced visualization during examinations.
2. User-Friendly Interface:
   • Intuitive controls and a clear display make it easy to operate, even for users with varying levels of experience.
   • Digital readouts provide instant feedback on measurements taken.
3. Measurement Accuracy:
   • High precision in measuring axial length, which is crucial for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power.
   • Capable of performing both contact and non-contact measurements, accommodating various patient needs.
4. Portability:
   • Compact and lightweight design allows for easy transportation and use in different clinical settings.
   • Battery-operated options may be available for convenience in outpatient or field settings.
5. Versatile Applications:
   • Ideal for pre-operative assessments for cataract surgery, refractive surgery, and other ocular procedures.
   • Can be used for monitoring changes in axial length over time in conditions like myopia or other refractive errors.
6. Durability and Maintenance:
   • Built with robust materials designed to withstand regular clinical use.
   • Easy to clean and maintain, ensuring hygiene standards are met in medical environments.

Applications

The Medico A-Scan is primarily used for:

• Calculating the axial length of the eye to determine the appropriate IOL power for cataract surgery.
• Assessing patients for refractive surgery by measuring corneal thickness and other ocular parameters.
• Monitoring ocular conditions that may affect eye length over time.

Summary

The Medico A-Scan is an essential tool in modern ophthalmology, providing accurate and reliable measurements critical for surgical planning and patient care.
