Ophthalmic Lasers; Allow Precise Treatment of A Range Of Eye Problems with Little Risk of Infection

 

Ophthalmic Lasers

Ophthalmic Lasers are medical devices that use a laser beam to treat ophthalmic diseases. Over the years, use of lasers in ophthalmology has successfully shown safe and effective results in treating various eye conditions. Ophthalmic lasers are used in a variety of eye surgery procedures. Lasers, such as LASIK, LASEK, epi-LASIK, and PRK, are used in refractive error correction procedures and therapeutic procedures such as phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) for the removal of surface irregularities, small corneal opacities.

Ophthalmic Lasers are used to help cataract surgeries such as Femto laser-assisted cataract surgeries (FLACS) and post-cataract surgery for removal of capsular opacification. In laser-assisted cataract surgery, the laser is often used to prepare the clouded lens to be broken up into smaller pieces for removal, then the process is completed by the surgeon with the phaco probe. Femtosecond lasers are used to treat cataracts and take advantage of extremely high peak power densities to efficiently disrupt tissue with minimal surrounding thermal damage.

Ophthalmic Lasers, such as Argon laser, is used for the treatment of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, wild hairs on the eyelid, retinal holes and retinal detachments, vein occlusions, and rarely in early forms of the age related macular degeneration. Moreover, lasers are also being developed and are providing safe & effective treatment for age related macular degeneration and glaucoma. Krypton laser can be used to treat a variety of retinal diseases. PRK and LASIK have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA).

In 1999, the FDA approved the LASIK vision correction technique for the treatment of refractive errors in patients. Ophthalmic Lasers allow precise treatment of a range of eye problems with little risk of the infection. Many laser procedures are relatively pain free and can be performed on the outpatient basis. The combination of safety, accuracy, and relative low cost make lasers very useful ophthalmic tools. Thus, there is an increase in demand for ophthalmic lasers.

Air Purifier works as a Sanitizer in the air which helps in reducing pollutants, allergens, and toxins

Image
  Air purifier   Within a confined area, an air purifier eliminates organic and inorganic impurities from the air. The clean air is sent out into the living space after these devices catch pollutants and particles in the air. Dust mites, mould spores, chemicals, poisons, and scents are all trapped by these filters. These gadgets are frequently touted as appropriate tools for asthmatic patients and others who suffer from airborne allergen allergies. An indoor Air purifier ensures the filtering of the air inside a closed room, which it catches and releases as clean air. If the windows may be opened, it functions in addition to the necessary natural ventilation. A contrast must be noted between a professional model and a residential device, since neither provides the same level of air treatment or overall performance. Pollens, fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), viruses, and germs are all effectively removed by a professional air purifier with a HEPA 13 or

Polyethylene Terephthalate Is A Non-Toxic Plastic, Mostly Used For Manufacturing Medical Devices

Image
  Polyethylene Terephthalate Polyethylene Terephthalate is an extremely common plastic. It is used in water bottles, clothing, baby wipes and many other items. The material is also a major component of many textiles. It can be melted or injected into molds to create a variety of shapes. It can also be used as a thin film that can protect products from light, heat and moisture. The material is a linear thermoplastic composed of repeating units of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It can be spun into fibers for synthetic fabrics, formed into containers for liquids and food, thermoformed into manufacturing parts, or combined with glass fiber to make engineering resins. Polyethylene Terephthalate is the most common plastic of the polyester family and is one of the most widely-used materials in the world. It is a strong, stiff plastic with good electrical insulating properties and excellent mechanical strength, transparency, gas barrier properties and stability over a wide temperat

With the use of High-Frequency alternating current, Radiofrequency Ablation Device convert Electromagnetic Energy into Heat Energy

Image
Radiofrequency Ablation Device RFA is a minimally invasive technique that may be done in a doctor's office or a hospital. The majority of patients are able to return home the same day. RFA can be done with or without minimal sedation. If anaesthesia is utilised, the patient is generally kept awake and alert enough to explain what they are feeling during the nerve stimulation and lesioning. The following are the steps involved in an RFA: ·         On a procedure table, the patient is lying on his or her stomach. An intravenous (IV) line is established if sedation is utilised so that relaxation medication (sedation) can be administered. ·         To reduce the danger of infection, the skin above the treatment region (neck, mid-back, or low back) is thoroughly washed. ·         A numbing drug (anaesthetic) is injected into the location of the RFA injection site to numb a small patch of skin. Radiofrequency ablation is a process that is reasonably safe and low-risk. Some pati
