Accutome has introduced the new B-Scan Plus, a new B-Probe that links directly to a laptop or PC by USB port. Accutome reports that this technology creates sharper, more focused images due to the elimination of signal loss, which occurs from older tabletop units, and offers 0.015-mm resolution, the highest in the medical industry.

The "Smooth Zoom" technology features full image zoom with no distortion on real-time or captured scans. The B-Scan Plus also captures unlimited 34-second film loops of every image. This helps to ensure that the user never misses an image.

Built-in report templates allow the user to create full reports in seconds. These reports can be shared easily via a paperless office, e-mail or printer.



The user-friendly software interface allows the user to master it in minutes. This software can be easily upgraded when necessary, to protect the users' investment. For information, call Accutome at 1 (800) 979-2020, (610) 889-0200, or visit accutome.com


Ocusoft Lid Scrub Plus Extra Strength

Cynacon/Ocusoft introduces Ocusoft Lid Scrub Plus Extra Strength Eyelid Cleanser. Ocusoft Lid Scrub Plus utilizes a low-level preservative and moisturizer blend providing a wide range of anti-bacterial activity. Ocusoft Lid Scrub Plus is recommended for patients with moderate to severe eyelid conditions.


In a time-kill study, the anti-bacterial effectiveness of Lid Scrub Plus Extra Strength was independently tested against a variety of pathogens, in particular, Staph epidermidis, a leading cause of postoperative endophthalmitis. These studies demonstrated superior effectiveness—5.5 log reduction. Lid Scrub Plus Extra Strength was categorized as an entire ratings category milder in eye irritation than its competitor, as well. This reduced level of eye irritation coupled with availability in both Pre-Moistened Pads or Foam Pump Dispenser serves to promote significantly better patient compliance than any other cleanser, the company believes.
