New medical devicesIndicator IGD-02: the portable device measuring intraocular tension.Tonometer TGDts-01: the device measuring intraocular tension. Glaucoma is a very artful ophthalmic disease which requires constant monitoring of intraocular tension. Till now it was impossible to measure tension at home. The Russian scientists invented portable devices - the indicator IGD-02 and tonometer TGDts-01 "PRA" - now it became possible to measure intraocular tension at home. Therefore we offer these devices for private persons. Advantages of a new method for measuring IOT 1. IOT measurement using the tonometer or the indicator is possible in domestic conditions. 2. When measuring tension using IGD-02 "diathera" and ôGDts-01 "PRá", the device is outside of field of vision of a patient. 3. It is known, that tear can contain bacteria and viruses such, as a virus of hepatite, herpes, adenoviruses, HIV. However sterilization technology of tonometers of old type are far from perfect. During tonometry by means of the devices IGD-02 "diathera" and ôGDts-01 "PRá", direct contact with eyeball is excluded. 4. Former methods of IOT measuring, for example, corneal tonometry are counter-indicative at conjunctivitis, erosions, ulcers, edema and nebula of cornea. Corneal tonometry is impossible without a local anesthesia which causes quite often irritation of conjunctiva, short-term raise of IOT, edema and loosening of cornea epithelium and, in some cases, allergic reaction. These undesirable reactions are excluded at measuring by indicator IGD-02 "diathera" and tonometer TGDts-01 "PRA". 5. The method of measuring of intraocular tension through eyelid and the devices for method implementation are protected by Patent of Russia ? 2123798, Patent of the USA ? US 6,394,954 B1 and the Patent of Japan ?3593314. |
