Merilas Shortpulse 577 - Meridian

Yellow Laser photocoagulator for all retinal photocoagulation procedures. The Merilas 577 shortpulse ophthalmic yellow laser photocoagulator features dual treatment modality: subthreshold with microsecond pulses or continuous wave delivery mode.

SUPERIOR QUALITY & LONGEVITY
The Merilas housing is made of a high grade aluminium giving Meridian’s unique solid feeling. The removable control panel features a crystal interface that is resistant, durable and easy to clean. The thermoelectric cooling (TEC) system eliminates the need for ventilation slots, making a hermetically sealed unit, ensuring a dust-free system, increasing the longevity of the laser.

USABILITY 
The Merilas lasers have intuitive commands, and are easy to use. The detachable touch display with glass technology ensures flexibility and provides a greater ergonomic design.

WAVELENGTH BENEFITS – WHY 577 nm?
The yellow wavelength 577 nm causes less retinal burns and therefore less scotoma formation. This gives the physician better control over the interaction between the laser beam and tissue. The yellow light is not absorbed by xanthophyll, making it ideal for macular treatments. Because it also produces less scattered light, it penetrates existing opacities better and reaches the tissue more precisely.
