Technology
The core objective of non-damaging retinal heating is to harness the regenerative effects associated with temperature elevation, promoting healing without causing harm to delicate retinal tissues. Our solution employs retinal temperature monitoring designed to ensure safe, effective, and consistent treatments for every patient, taking into account inter-patient variability and differences across retinal locations.
Bringing non-damaging lasers to forefront of retinal therapies
Personalization of retinal heating is the key for efficacy and safety
Precision therapy
The temperature range for inducing therapeutic heat shock protein production is narrow and laser-induced temperature elevation depends highly on individual characteristics. Heating the retinal tissue to a precise temperature is ensured with our sensor and control algorithms that allow active retinal temperature monitoring.
Non-Contact Solution
The modern approach to user interface design enables patient-friendly treatments and provides ease of use for doctors. The treatment beams are directed to the fundus via a fixed non-contact lens, eliminating the need for manual handling.
Enhanced Safety
Our active temperature monitoring enables detection of over-heating, allowing for treatment interruption before damage occurs. The automated pupil tracking ensures correct device alignment and halts treatment if it detects any excessive eye movements. These key features ensure patient safety.
