Based in Australia, Ellex offers a wide range of lasers and diagnostic ultrasound systems for ophthalmologists.
UltraQ Photo Disruptors from Ellex employ YAG laser technology to remove the cloudiness that develops on the posterior capsule of the lens of the eye after extraction of a cataract and for surgical removal of a part of the iris. The laser has a repetition rate up to three hertz with twin focusing system, which allows them to attain high precision levels within a range of plus or minus eight microns.
UltraQ Photo Disruptors can be used for low energy treatments up to three to four milli joules with the Ultra Gaussian Beam Mode, which reduces the risk of lens pitting, more efficient tissue cutting with fewer shots. They contain Solid-State Q-Switch Optical Shutter, which can last for four hundred thousand shots.
These units operate at a wavelength of 1600 nanometres with a pulse of four nano seconds. The cone angle is 16 degrees. The UltraQ Devices have a magnification capability of ten times, sixteen times and twenty eight times the size of original image of eight microns. They have a red diode aiming beam of adjustable intensity. These units weigh forty five kilograms. Their height, width and depth are 135, 92 and 510 cm respectively. The UltraQ Photo Disruptors are offered with a remote control, which makes them easier to operate.
