Integre Duo By ELLEX Of Adelaide
ELLEX released a world-first eye surgery product at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting in San Francisco on March 20th 2006.
The Adelaide company, which makes laser equipment used in eye surgery, has released a solid-state red and green photocoagulator called the Integre Duo.
Chief executive Peter Falzon said ophthalmologists traditionally had used both red and green lasers, but had downgraded clinical utility for convenience when smaller, green-only solid state lasers became available.
"This is a unique product as it's the first time a company has engineered a combination red and green laser in a small and convenient solid-state system," Mr Falzon said from the U.S. yesterday.
"Ophthalmologists are used to using green lasers. In the past, before the technology changed to solid state, red and green lasers were popular.
"But since the technology changed from very large and high energy-consuming ion lasers to solid-state lasers, no company has offered a red and green system."
The Integre Duo has been approved for sale in Japan where the first units will be installed in April. The company expects the first units to arrive in the U.S. in July.
