New Descemet Stripper Instruments
Rhein Medical's new Steinert DSEK Descemet Stripper has an upward-angled, sandblasted ball tip designed to achieve one of the goals of DSEK: a smooth recipient posterior cornea for a better interface for the donor. The instrument, developed in coordination with Roger F. Steinert, MD, is available in non-irrigating or irrigating versions.
The Steinert DSEK Descemet Stripper has a sandblasted ball tip to create traction to strip Descemet's membrane, but the smooth ball tip will not damage posterior stroma unlike many Descemet membrane removers which can injure the smooth posterior corneal surface.

Redesigned M3 from Marco
Marco's newly redesigned M3, automatic refractor, keratometer and non-contact tonometer offers several enhanced features such as a smaller footprint, to save even more space, and a new exterior design, but most importantly, the M3 now uses SLD (Super Luminescent Diode) and a highly sensitive CCD device to provide Zonal Ring-Image Technology. This makes it possible now to accurately measure patients with cataracts, corneal opacities, intraocular lenses and those who are post-LASIK, the company says. 
The M3 remains totally automatic when aligning, tracking, and focusing on the patient's eye, and possesses the same automatic fogging system that minimizes accommodation throughout the exam. The tiltable screen, motorized chin rest and easy load paper make the M3 user friendly, as well. The M3 will interface with other Marco Refraction Systems within your practice and interface with most EMR companies.
