Excimer Laser System
Only LASIK with WaveLight offers the flexible performance of Wavefront Optimized LASIK, for faster treatment of more patients with less effort. Wavefront Optimized LASIK depends on the speed and safety of the advanced WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Laser, precision-engineered for faster, accurate procedures.
Equipped with all the advantages of the proven WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Laser technology, the WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Laser optimizes laser vision correction.
The WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Laser was designed based on an idea that was once only imagined: a system with shortened surgery times, innovative and reliable eye-tracking, and a clear ergonomic concept.
• High-Speed 400 Hz Eye Tracker adjusted to the high speed of the laser beam actively tracks the fastest eye movement and verifies location before releasing pulses.
• Thermal Optimized Shot Distribution helps minimize the potential for thermal buildup.
• Cross line projector provides precise centration.
Together, these innovations allow the WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Laser to provide excellent clinical results in both Wavefront Optimized and Wavefront-Guided laser vision correction.
The high-speed laser and eye tracker of WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Lasers offer a unique combination of efficiency and safety, for faster throughput, reduced environmental exposure, and excellent outcomes. In addition, its proven, state-of-the art technology provides the physician and patient both safety and reliability, with a low rate of complications and retreatments.
Lightweight and Space-Saving
The small, space-saving design of WaveLight Allegretto Wave 200 Hz and 400 Hz Lasers has already won numerous design awards.
Ergonomically designed, WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Lasers offer several advantages:
• Small footprint
• Fits through standard doorways
• Portable notebook
• Lightweight, also suitable for historic buildings
• Insensitive to temperature and humidity conditions: operation range between 18°C-30°C (65°F-86°F) and 20%-70% humidity
Fitting through standard doorways, the systems can be accommodated even in the smallest operating rooms. Compared to other systems, these lasers are lightweight and also suitable for historic buildings.
Expensive architectural changes to the operating room are, in most cases, not needed, because of the laser's sealed beam path, which is just one of the reasons for the laser systems' tolerance toward humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Precise Centration
Finding the eye's correct treatment position is one of the most important factors in obtaining an excellent refractive outcome, especially in high astigmatic corrections.
Practicality and Ease-of-Use
WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Lasers offer many features that support practicality and ease-of-use.
The external plume evacuator removes fumes and odors that protect the respiratory tracts of patients and surgeons.
While other systems utilize integrated computer systems for treatment planning, WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Lasers feature portable notebook computers. This provides you with the freedom of choice where and when to plan your next surgery day-still in your clinic or in a quiet moment in the evening or during the weekend.
Swiveling Patient Bed
The swiveling patient bed is a standard accessory and was also designed to swivel out to an angle of 30° to 45°. At the push of a button, the integrated motor brings the bed to the desired operating position. Once in position, the bed is secured against further movements. In addition, the bed features height adjustments of up to 270 mm.
With its integrated joystick, the bed enables precise patient alignment to the x-, y-, and z-axis with an accuracy of <0.1 mm. The swiveling speed is adjustable and the headrest can be moved to provide precise patient positioning.
The bed's power supply is interrupted as soon as the treatment is running in order to prevent unintended bed movements. If the bed is swiveled out, safety is ensured by time-controlled power interruption.
Considering every aspect of the refractive procedure, the WaveLight Allegretto Wave Eye-Q Lasers contain a built-in slit illumination system.
There is no need to move the patient into a different room in order to check the flap position, the interface, or to perform a flap re-lift.
With a 100 W, ultra-bright xenon light source, the WaveLight slit illumination system provides excellent illumination.
The optional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) delivers reliable performance, even under unreliable environmental electrical conditions or loss of power.
In order to maintain the highest possible hygienic standards, all parts of the laser system that might be touched during surgery can be fitted with sterile caps.
