The RT-100 Rebound Tonometer utilizes innovative rebound technology to provide fast, precise, and patient-friendly measurements of Intraocular Pressure (IOP), offering a portable alternative to the Goldmann standard.
This handheld ophthalmic device is a crucial tool for glaucoma screening and management, particularly valued for its ease of use in diverse settings, including clinics and remote care missions. Unlike Applanation Tonometers, the RT-100 obtains a reading by momentarily and gently tapping the cornea with a tiny, disposable probe, which ensures an accurate measurement without the need for topical anesthesia or a slit lamp.
The RT-100 features a compact, lightweight, and intuitive design (approximately 200g), making it supremely portable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and new users. This method simplifies the IOP assessment procedure, increases patient comfort, and significantly speeds up examination workflow. The use of disposable probes also ensures superior hygiene and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.
The Rebound Tonometer is a key instrument in pediatric and veterinary ophthalmology, as its non-intrusive method allows for efficient and accurate IOP measurement even on uncooperative or anxious patients. This advancement provides a reliable diagnostic foundation, improving early detection and monitoring of conditions like ocular hypertension and glaucoma.
