The small animal tonometer is based on rebound technology, using a lightweight probe to make brief contact with the cornea to achieve measurement purposes. The test subjects hardly feel the contact process, avoiding discomfort and completely eliminating the need for anesthesia. Icare's rebound technology is specialized and innovative, with accurate and reliable detection results, making it a new choice for detecting intraocular pressure.
Two models are available for selection:
Tonolab type is suitable for small animals such as rats and mice
TonoVet type is suitable for large animals such as rabbits and dogs
model: Tonolab
Main features:
1. Adopting patented rebound technology, the operation is safe and minimizes the interference caused to animals during the measurement process.
2. The measurement process is painless and can be completed instantly, and the tested animal does not require anesthesia to avoid the impact of anesthesia on the animal's intraocular pressure.
3. The tonometer is compact and lightweight, suitable for operation in different environments.
4. Using disposable probes effectively avoids cross infection and has high hygiene standards.
5. Easy to operate and master, without the need for professional ophthalmic medical training.
Main technical parameters:
1. Using the principle of rebound, the intraocular pressure is measured by instantaneous contact between a disposable probe and the cornea.
2. According to the requirements of different experimental animals of customers, there are two types: large animals and rodents.
3. Use disposable probes to avoid cross infection.
4. Dual digital screen display, intelligent recording of measurement results.
5. No calibration required.
6. Detachable AA battery power supply.
7. The product complies with CE and ISO certifications.
Model: TonoVet is suitable for large animals such as rabbits and dogs
