The Keeler D KAT Applanation Tonometer Take-Away is a sophisticated instrument designed for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) using the Goldmann applanation principle. This principle is considered the gold standard for tonometry, providing highly accurate and reliable measurements essential for diagnosing and managing glaucoma
One of the key features of the D KAT Take-Away model is its removable design. This feature allows the tonometer to be easily detached and stored when not in use, making it ideal for practices with limited space or those that need to frequently switch between different diagnostic tools
The take-away design ensures that the tonometer remains protected and in optimal condition, enhancing its longevity and reliability.
The D KAT is equipped with an LED display and internal electronics, which facilitate fast and accurate measurement of IOP. The LED display provides clear readings, even in darkened environments, ensuring that eye care professionals can obtain precise measurements under various lighting conditions
The device is designed to measure the force required to flatten (applanate) a constant area (3.06 mm) of the cornea, providing consistent and dependable results
Compatibility is another significant advantage of the D KAT Take-Away model. It is designed to be used with the H series slit lamps (tower illumination), ensuring seamless integration into existing diagnostic setups
This compatibility enhances the efficiency and workflow of eye care practices, allowing for smooth transitions between different diagnostic procedures.
Durability and ease of maintenance are also notable features of the D KAT. The device comes with a calibration arm and a reusable tonometer cone, making it easy to maintain and calibrate, ensuring consistent and accurate measurements over time
The robust construction of the tonometer ensures long-term reliability, even with regular use in clinical setting
Overall, the Keeler D KAT Applanation Tonometer Take-Away is a valuable tool for eye care professionals. Its precision, convenience, and durability make it an essential instrument for modern optometry practices, contributing to improved patient care and efficient workflow
