TANGO Laser system by ELLEX
For the treatment of secondary cataracts and glaucomaPrecision and efficiency. The dual-mode laser cavity of the Tango allows seamless switching between SLT and YAG modes, ensuring that we can treat patients with maximum precision and optimal efficiency in both modalities. SLT ... Precision. GLAUCOMA Tango™ incorporates Ellex's proprietary SLT technology - delivering superior energy control, a sharp-edged targeting spot, and the fastest firing rate of three shots per second. With improved visualization of the trabecular meshwork, we can perform SLT procedures faster and more accurately. SLT is a gentle and non-invasive method, meaning we can stimulate healthy regeneration of the trabecular meshwork and control IOP without causing tissue burns or scarring. YAG ... Low energy, high efficiency. Secondary cataracts and glaucoma The YAG mode of the Tango features an ultra-Gaussian beam profile and rapid energy delivery required for therapeutic procedures. This allows us to perform capsulotomies and iridotomies at lower and more efficient energy levels. With less energy delivered to the eye, we can perform capsulotomies after implanting all types of IOLs with a significantly reduced risk of lens pitting. Tango™ is used for laser therapy for glaucoma and treatment of secondary cataracts.
