The Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser has been added to the already impressive refractive portfolio offered by Carl Zeiss Meditec. Ambition and a vision for technological progress are the forces that drive Zeiss to meet the highest expectations.

Laser Precision
Anyone who has ever seen the impressive clockwork mechanism of a chronometer knows that precision is the result of expertise and sophisticated technology. The decisive competitive advantage of the Femtosecond technology of Carl Zeiss Meditec lies in its ability to combine these core competencies. The more accurate the beam guidance and the more finely balanced the interaction between the repetition rate and laser pulse energy, the more accurate – and thus gentler – the treatment. This, precisely, is where the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser sets new standards; and precisely what you – and particularly your delighted patients – will appreciate.

How do you achieve faster, more accurate incision beam guidance? With minimum laser energy, made possible through high-precision Zeiss optics, and with a high pulse repetition rate enabling unparalleled incision beam guidance perfection – precisely to the desired ablation depth. As a result, the tissue outside of the defined area of interest remains untouched.

Providing vast flexibility of incision geometry, the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser is a unique universal system. Intuitive software allows you to conveniently adjust all patientspecific treatment parameters. Precise flaps and keratoplasty are just the beginning of the potential applications range of the Zeiss VisuMax in corneal surgery – thanks to the innovative Femtosecond laser technology from Carl Zeiss Meditec.

Incision guidance with the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser is accurate and predictable. Variation in flap thickness, for example, is remarkably minimal. As a result, you benefit from far greater safety when treating patients with thin corneas or high ametropia, in who refractive laser eye surgery may not have been indicated in the past.

Laser Performance
Carl Zeiss Meditec is committed to manufacturing products and systems that fit seamlessly into your clinical workflow while offering superior treatment results. Already beginning with the conceptual design phase, Zeiss is in close consultation with physicians from around the world. The result: the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser – a clinically sophisticated, superbly engineered instrument for precise, safe and fast laser treatments with optimal results.

With the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser, ergonomic design starts with the contact interface. Because patients retain their vision during the surgical procedure, they are able to actively cooperate throughout the entire laser treatment. As a universal workstation for corneal surgery, the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser features a high-quality Zeiss surgical microscope and integrated slit illumination. During the surgical procedure, the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser provides audio cues, allowing you to fully concentrate on the laser therapy.

The intuitive software of the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser offers you the surgeon complete freedom to focus on the treatment. Patient positioning between the surgical microscope and the treatment position, for example, is performed fully automatically. The touch screen and intuitive software on the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser enable easy system control, with interactive system features providing additional support. Preset treatment programs offer you the necessary level of standardization, and the patient-oriented planning the freedom needed to operate. An integrated video camera equipped with a DVD recorder enables comprehensive, up-to-the-minute treatment documentation.

Thanks to the Zeiss VisuMax convenient system handling features and thorough development planning, the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser has the potential to pay fast dividends. The Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser features a robust, low-maintenance system design, for example, has no parts requiring routine replacement. Also, the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser has no permanent standby mode, yet it is always ready for use – a feature that is not only economically beneficial, but also environmentally friendly. Moreover, precise flap incisions and keratoplasty are just the beginning of the visionary clinical applications potential of the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser.

Patient Care
Everyone has a curved cornea. Our contact glasses with their new positioning design are therefore also curved. After all, nature often provides us with the best answers. Over the course of a long evolutionary process, nature developed numerous solutions for economically achieving its goals at minimal energy expenditure. In the interest of maximum patient comfort and safety, we took this knowledge and combined it with an attractive design to allow your patients to also feel completely comfortable. And, of course, news about feeling comfortable during treatment is sure to spread.

The positioning of the curved contact interface of the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser is unique. Contact and suction to the patient’s eye occur only on the cornea. This stable, gentle interface concept offers you ideal results. Various size contact interfaces enable optimal fitting for individual eyes, thus preventing unnecessarily high intraocular pressure while eliminating vision loss commonly associated with suction. A fully integrated vacuum system on the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser represents yet another safety advantage. Performed automatically, corneal suction is continuously monitored throughout the surgery, and – with the VisuMax – takes only seconds longer than the actual laser incision itself.

The Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser introduces outstanding technology and sophisticated design into your practice. The Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser features a discreet blue illumination designed to create a calming ambience. The ergonomic pivoting patient table, installed together with the Zeiss VisuMax Femtosecond Laser on an attractive and sturdy platform, ensures maximum comfort for both you and your patients. Your patients will recognize your expertise and professionalism the moment they enter your clinic.
