Accutome PachPen Handheld Pachymeters

Description

Accutome PachPen Handheld Pachymeter is a medical device used to measure the thickness of the cornea, a process known as pachymetry. This measurement is crucial in various ophthalmic procedures and conditions, such as:

1. Evaluating patients for LASIK surgery: Before undergoing refractive surgery like LASIK, it’s vital to measure the corneal thickness to ensure the cornea can safely sustain the procedure.
2. Screening for keratoconus: Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease where the cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. Measuring the corneal thickness can help diagnose and monitor this condition.
3. Glaucoma assessments: In glaucoma management, corneal thickness can influence intraocular pressure measurements, which are vital for diagnosing and monitoring the disease.

The Accutome PachPen Handheld Pachymeter is popular among clinicians because of its portability and ease of use. Some of its key features may include:

1. Ease of Use: Being handheld, it can be easily used in various clinical settings.
2. Accurate Measurements: It provides precise readings which are vital for clinical decisions.
3. Ergonomic Design: Designed for comfort, which is essential for repeated use.
4. Battery Operated: Ensures mobility and ease of use without worrying about power sources.
5. Tip Cover: Ensures patient safety and hygiene.
