Opti-Kleen Diamond Blade Cleaning System

PRICE N/A
COMPANY Micro-Scientific Industries
PHONE (888) 253-2536
WEB www.micro-sci.com

KEY FEATURES

  • The Opti-Kleen detergent removes tissue and other debris from the surface of diamond blades
  • The foam pad does not scratch, chip, dull, or break diamond blades
  • Blades are sterilized after cleaning

The Opti-Kleen Diamond Blade Cleaning System (Micro-Scientific Industries) is designed for cleaning tissue and other debris from the surface of diamond blades before sterilization. The system includes a foam-like pad that is saturated with the Opti-Kleen detergent. According to the company, the foam pad allows the gentle scrubbing of the blade's surface without scratching, chipping, dulling, or breaking it while the Opti-Kleen solution quickly loosens tissue debris and dissolves blood and other bodily fluids. As the diamond blade is moved back and forth through the foam pad in a cutting motion, bubbles stick to the blade, creating a resistance that safely removes debris that is then deposited into the foam. After cleaning with Opti-Kleen, the blade is sterilized in an autoclave. At the end of the surgical day, the foam kit is disposed of according to local regulations. There are 12 kits per box and two boxes per case.


LED Conversion Kits

PRICE N/A
COMPANY Haag-Streit USA
PHONE (800)787-5426
WEB www.haag-streit-usa.com

KEY FEATURES

  • LED conversion kit available for BM 900 and BQ 900 slit lamps
  • Features a light spectrum that illuminates minute details in the anterior chamber, cornea, and lens
  • Eliminates the need for additional external light sources or long fiber optics

Light-emitting diode (LED) conversion kits are now available for Haag-Streit USA's BM 900 and BQ 900 slit lamps, which come with a tungsten lamp bulb. LED bulbs do not emit radiation or produce heat, and they last approximately 35,000 hours, which, according to the company, is 150 times longer than a tungsten bulb. The new LED conversion kit features a light spectrum that illuminates minute details in the anterior chamber, cornea, and lens. The improved view assists ophthalmologists with evaluating the depth of a foreign object in the eye or analyzing anterior chamber depth. The LED conversion kit also includes built-in background illumination for imaging-ready slit lamps and eliminates the need for additional external light sources or long fiber optics. Controls for both the LED illumination and background illumination are located on the tabletop. The conversion kit is available for Haag-Streit's slit-lamp models with a single-control joystick.
