Ellex · Model Tango
• Built-In, Fully Integrated Design - Ellex’s fully integrated design optimizes laser treatment and provides a number of advantages, including a shorter travel distance for the laser beam, no add-ons or cables, and more stable, reliable and consistent delivery of energy. The Solo’s built-in slit lamp features converging optics to provide a more natural stereoscopic view that is ideal for anterior segment viewing. This compact, efficient design creates more working space for the physician, as well as convenient, simultaneous access to the patient and laser controls. • Proprietary Dual Mode Laser Cavity - The Ellex design team capitalized on 20 years of ophthalmic laser innovation to create an SLT and YAG combination laser that incorporates a number of laser industry firsts. These include a proprietary dual mode cavity specifically designed to make procedures as effective as possible. In addition, the laser cavity has been combined with the slit lampand other system components for optimized performance. • Ultra Gaussian Beam Profile in YAG Mode - The Ultra Gaussian beam profile and fast plasma rise time achieve ultra-low optical breakdown (in air) at approximately 1.8 mJ. This optimized laser energy enables capsulotomies and iridotomies to be performed at lower, more efficient power levels, resulting in a much lower risk of lens pitting, more efficient tissue cutting with fewer shots and less cumulative energy delivered. • Fine, Two-Point Focusing System in YAG Mode - With the Tango’s tolerance range of ±8 microns, the physician can easily detect if the system is out of focus, and can ensure that energy is placed where intended in relation to the target. • SLT Photoregeneration - SLT is a highly effective approach for first-line glaucoma treatments, adjunct therapy with drugs, and alternative therapy when drugs or surgery fail. It is also a flexible treatment option, because it can be repeated, if necessary, depending on the individual patient’s response. SLT uses short pulses of lowenergy light to target the melanin in specific cells of the affected eye. In response, the body’s natural healing mechanisms rebuild these cells, improving drainage and lowering intraocular pressure. The surrounding, non-pigmented cells – as well as the rest of the eye structure – are untouched and undamaged
