Ziemer’s FEMTO LDVTM.
Femtolaser surgery with convincing
clinical advantages:
Smooth surface of stromal bed. Smooth edges for optimal flap closure. Thin flaps of even thickness. Rapid healing and visual recovery. Excellent visual outcomes.
Perfectly uniform and predictable
flap thickness across entire flap
Laser beam perfectly focused on
cutting plane
Complete dissection without
tissue bridges to minimize risk of flap tearing
Ziemer FEMTO LDV is ideally suited
for preparing thin corneal flaps:
Applanation window and laser
optics are built into the same structural unit for maximum
mechanical stability, lens and focal point move perfectly parallel
to applanation plane
IntraShield™ spacers are
manufactured and quality controlled to have uniform thickness within
tight tolerances
Controlled suction to achieve
perfect applanation and predictable compression of tissue
Optics are very close (<5mm) to
cornea
Very high pulse rate in the
Megahertz range
Two-stage scanning pattern: slow
scan / fast scan generates a pattern of overlapped tissue disruption
spots
Using custom-made InterShield spacers
dimensioned for 70 to 80 µm flaps, some sub-Bowman flaps were created:
Flaps were easy to lift and to
manipulate
Perfect, smooth stromal bed
No damage to Bowman’s membrane
500 Femto-LASIK Procedures:
Less patient discomfort
Rapid visual recovery
Excellent visual results
Very few clinical complications
The Ziemer LDV Femtosecond Laser is a
promising tool for sub-Bowman Keratomileusis:
Swiss Ziemer engineering have produce... Swiss
Ziemer engineering have produced the Lenoardo Di Vinci (LDV)
femtosecond laser for the current application of making the flap in
laser vision correction. Faster speed and lower energy produce
results that are significantly better than the current system,
Intralase and other systems that use "amplification" for speed. The
"oscillation" method unique to the LDV allows for speeds in the mega
hertz range and complete smooth dissection at appropriate and very
low energy. This translates into better vision for the patient.
