DGH 550 Pachette 2 - Ultrasonic Pachymeter by DGH Technologies
The DGH 550 Pachette 2 is a leading ultrasonic pachymeter designed to provide fast, precise, and reproducible corneal thickness measurements. It employs echo spike technology, recognized as the optimal method for this type of analysis due to its exceptional reliability and accuracy.
This instrument is particularly useful in refractive surgery, especially for monitoring patients undergoing LASIK procedures. It also enables precise measurements for glaucoma screening, corneal edema assessment in extended-wear contact lens patients, and preoperative data collection for intrastromal ring implantation and radial or arcuate keratotomy.
Its ergonomic and intuitive design ensures immediate usability. Once powered on, it is instantly ready for use, allowing measurements to be taken effortlessly. The automatic mode eliminates the need for a foot switch, optimizing user comfort. The 16 x 2 character LCD screen provides excellent readability from a distance and under various lighting conditions.
The Pachette 2 features advanced memory functions, storing up to 50 measurements per location. Additionally, its mapping mode allows for the acquisition and storage of up to 33 corneal thickness measurements, both real and biased. A built-in audio signal alerts the operator when a valid measurement is completed, ensuring maximum efficiency.
The device is configurable to meet user preferences through an intuitive control panel, allowing selection of the number of measurements to be taken and the delay time between them. Non-volatile memory ensures that personalized settings are preserved even when the device is turned off.
Portable and lightweight, the Pachette 2 can be easily transported from a clinic to a hospital setting. Its built-in adjustable tilt stand enhances readability and ease of use.
Various optional features expand its capabilities, including the FLAP option for measuring LASIK flaps as thin as 95 microns, as well as interfaces for printing or data transfer to a computer or other compatible devices.
