The Dell Astigmatism Marker (40, 60 and 80 degrees) is designed for marking a cornea for the placement of limbal relaxing incisions, corneal relaxing incisions and the proper orientation of toric IOLs. Rhein says the special low profile of the marker (#8-12111) facilitates its easy placement on the cornea while automatically creating guide marks. The rotating bezel aligns marks in the proper meridian, eliminating the possibility of incorrect axis placement, says Rhein. Call (813) 885-5050 or visit rheinmedical.com.
Two Drops in One
Accutome Inc. introduces Flura-Safe, an eye drop that both stains and anesthetizes the eye. Flura-Safe uses Fluorexon, a large-molecule fluorescein, ensuring that Flura-Safe will not spoil soft contact lenses. To anesthetize, this product contains benoxinate. Accutome says Flura-Safe will decrease chair time and increase patient satisfaction. Visit accutome.com.
