“As the exclusive distributor of LightMed products in the U.S., we are very proud to present such an innovative product across the entire U.S.,” said Joey Colarulo, Vice President of Sales and Managing Partner for Laser Locators. “Given LightMed’s history of producing the most value-driven, user-friendly lasers in the U.S., I’m confident that the TruScan577 will improve clinical efficiency and versatility and ultimately increase patient satisfaction.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Center for Health Statistics, glaucoma accounts for over 10 million visits to physicians each year.

The TruScan577 leads the next generation of LightMed’s highly ambitious group of ophthalmic lasers that will feature better precision, speed and versatility for ophthalmologists and ultimately improve the overall experience for patients. The main features of the TruScan577 allows it to stand apart from similar products in its category.

Sub-Threshold Photocoagulation in Single and Pattern Mode: TruScan577 can be used in traditional continuous wavelength and sp-mode™ (sub-threshold photocoagulation) treatment modalities, allowing a next-generation approach to effective management of retinal diseases and glaucoma. The sp-mode™ is the latest advancement in LightMed laser photocoagulators, offering an innovative approach to achieving positive clinical outcomes and eliminating laser-induced thermal tissue damage or treatment side effects. Also, ongoing studies demonstrate that this product is highly effective, and can treat disorders at a much earlier stage.

Ultra-High Performance Technology: TruScan577 utilizes innovative laser technology, assuring the highest standards of versatility and performance and also has a life span of up to 10 times longer than its competitors. It has a diffusion bonding laser cavity design, which utilizes advanced coating elements that are applied to the laser optical components. This helps the laser maintain peak stability and durability under high stress conditions.

Smart Joystick Manipulator: The integrated micro-joystick provides superb fingertip precision for positioning and control of treatment spots and patterns.
