Intelligent femtosecond laser technology
The SCHWIND ATOS femtosecond laser enables minimally invasive lenticule extraction as well as flap creation in FemtoLASIK. Its combination of innovative technology and intelligent design provides safety and precision in refractive corneal surgery.
The SCHWIND ATOS has a sophisticated eye tracking system. Its pupil recognition and cyclotorsion compensation provide precise centring of the patient’s eye along the visual axis. The centring options and cyclotorsion compensation make it possible to treat vision deficiencies more effectively, especially astigmatism. The centring can be performed easily. A monitor directly in the surgeon's field of vision provides additional convenience.
The SCHWIND ATOS is a logical consequence of SCHWIND’s comprehensive expertise in technologies for smooth corneal surfaces. With a pulse rate of up to four megahertz, sophisticated pulse characteristics and refined positioning algorithms, this femtosecond laser features very short treatment and incision times.
Smooth and tissue-saving
The improved lenticular geometry is not limited by a minimum thickness, and is tissue-saving. Furthermore, lenticules and flaps made with the SCHWIND ATOS exhibit a homogenous surface. As a result, lenticule extraction is simple. In FemtoLASIK, it makes it easy to lift the flap created with SCHWIND ATOS.
Benefits at a glance
As flexible as the requirements – particularly in treatment of hyperopia and mixed astigmatism, the highly flexible SCHWIND ATOS can be used to create flaps of various diameters, including large flaps and large treatment zones.
The curved patient interface geometry gives an excellent fit with the eye. It has improved suction and is ready for use in just two steps. The innovative design with integral filter function eliminates the need for additional tubes and filters, and ensures optimum contact of the eye with the laser system. The shape follows the corneal limbus, and substantially reduces pressure on the eye during the contacting process. Active suction lasts only a little longer than the incision procedure itself.
The SCHWIND ATOS uses the same patient interface for lenticule extraction with SmartSight and for making precise flaps in FemtoLASIK, giving it high flexibility. It all adds up to safety and comfort for the patient, and an efficient workflow for the surgeon.
The SCHWIND ATOS features trim dimensions and a small footprint. That makes this compact femtosecond laser highly flexible for use in refractive surgery. The monitor and keyboard are mounted on a swivelling arm that lets the user adjust the position to suit, and then fold them back against the body of the machine for easier repositioning in the clinic.
With its fast system check, the SCHWIND ATOS is ready for use within a short period of time. It can be used alone or in combination with a SCHWIND AMARIS family excimer laser.
Refractive surgeons report on their experience with the state-of-the-art femtosecond laser technology SCHWIND ATOS®
SmartSight is an up-to-date femtosecond eye laser procedure with micro cut technology for the correction of myopia and astigmatism. A lenticule is formed in the intrastromal tissue of the cornea, and then removed through a small incision.
This precise and gentle treatment method uses no corneal flap, and there is no laser ablation like there is with excimer lasers.
