Description
PRECISION ENGINEERING
Discover the reliability of a Keeler Applanation Tonometer (KAT); a Goldmann applanation tonometer designed and handmade in the UK by our team of ophthalmic instrument specialists.
Our analogue GAT range uses the Goldmann method of measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), which is to calculate the force required to flatten (applanate) a constant area (3.06mm) of the cornea to aide in the diagnosis of glaucoma.
Keeler applanation tonometers (KATs) are a versatile measurement device for a wide variety of lower and tower illumination style slit lamps.
BENEFITS
- Made with high-quality precision machined components
- Enhanced reliability – stringent quality controls pre, during and after assembly
- Completely mechanical and non-battery powered device which does not require electrical power
- Reusable tonometer prism included
- Designed, engineered, and handmade in the UK.
USAGE OVERVIEW
The KAT (R-Type) is a measurement device used to measure intraocular pressure which is one of the key biomarkers considered in diagnosing glaucoma. It is intended to be used by suitably trained and authorised healthcare professionals only.
The R-Type is mounted on the optical body post for a secure fix. As an R-Type, this unit is fixed by mounting it to the optical body post.
