ZEISS MEL 90 Excimer Laser
The MEL 90 excimer laser system truly exemplifies cutting-edge technology in corneal photoablation, offering numerous features and specifications that enhance its performance and clinical outcomes. Here’s a summary of its key attributes and benefits:
Key Technical Specifications
- Laser Emission: Utilizes a 193 nm argon fluoride (ArF) excimer laser for precise corneal reshaping.
- Pulse Repetition Rate: Selectable at either 250 Hz or 500 Hz, allowing flexibility in treatment settings.
- Beam Profile: Employs a Gaussian-based flying spot for accurate energy delivery.
- Spot Size: Features a spot diameter of 0.7 mm, ensuring detailed treatment coverage.
- Fluence: Approximately 150 mJ/cm², facilitating effective tissue ablation.
- Ablation Rate: Achieves an ablation rate of approximately 0.25 μm per pulse.
- Treatment Modes: Supports multiple procedures, including PRK, LASEK, LASIK, and PTK.
Advanced Features
- Triple-Mode Eye Tracker:
- Pupil Tracking: 1050 Hz acquisition rate for real-time adjustments.
- Limbus Tracking: Ensures enhanced centration during procedures.
- Static Cyclotorsion Control: Utilizes iris recognition for precise alignment.
- Customizable Ablation Algorithms:
- Tissue Saving Ablation (TSA): Minimizes stromal tissue removal for better safety.
- Advanced Ablation Algorithm (Triple-A): Optimizes corneal asphericity to enhance visual outcomes.
- Personalized Treatments: Based on detailed topography and wavefront data.
- FLEXIQUENCE Technology:
- Optimized Pulse Sequence: Reduces thermal load on the cornea during treatment.
- Adaptive Shot Pattern: Improves energy distribution for more effective ablation.
- CCA+ (Customized Corneal Ablation) Software:
- Integrates topography and wavefront data for personalized treatment.
- Compensates for biomechanical changes during the ablation process.
Clinical Benefits
- Enhanced Precision: Achieves stromal ablation accuracy within 0.25 diopters of target refraction.
- Reduced Procedural Duration: Approximately 1.3 seconds per diopter, which minimizes corneal dehydration risks.
- Improved Outcomes: Effective management of high-order aberrations and complex ametropias.
- Optimized Postoperative Smoothness: Contributes to faster visual recovery.
- Reduced Risk of Ectasia: The use of tissue-sparing algorithms lowers the potential for postoperative complications.
The MEL 90’s integration of advanced technologies not only improves the precision and safety of corneal surgeries but also enhances the overall patient experience and visual outcomes, making it a leading choice for ophthalmic surgeons.
