The EpiVision™ SL System is indicated for the separation of the epithelium from the comea in preparation for subsequent surgical procedures on the denuded comea and for use in the making of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK treatment.

The EpiVision™ SL System is a fully automated, AC powered ophthalmic keratome system. The EpiVision™ SL System is used to produce a lamellar corneal flap in an Epithelial Separation or LASIK procedure. With these methods, the refraction of the comea is changed using a laser treatment, a comeal flap is created. However, this flap is not completely separated (except when an epithelial free flap is desired), but remains connected by a small segment of the flap to the eyeball. This segment is called the hinge. The hinge size, the advancing speed during cutting, and the oscillation frequency of the cutter are fixed parameters. The user cannot change these parameters. The EpiVision™ SL System's function is to remove an eye's upper corneal layer (epithelium) using an Epithelial Separation method or to create a cut in the epithelium of the cornea for using a LASIK operation method, after which the contour of the cornea is treated with a vision-correcting laser is not manufactured by Gebauer Medizintechik GmbH. The oscillating Separator/Blade, with fixed parameters creates a separation between the epithelium and Bowman's layers, or a cut in the epithelium. The EpiVision™ SL System is a motor driven Microkeratome which is composed of a Console with power-cable, a Handpiece with a removable Handpiece-cable, a Footswitch, with different colored Foot-pedals, a Single-Use-Set/Single-Use LASIK Set for EpiVision™ SL and a Disposable Tubing System for Epi Vision™ SL System. The Single-Use Set/Single-Use LASIK Set for EpiVision™ SL consists of a Head, a Suction-Ring and a Separator. The components should be assembled per the assembly description in Section 7 of the Users Manual. The EpiVision™ SL System is operated exclusively by the Footswitch. On top of the Console are LEDs which provide optical signals for "on" and "off" of the console, activated vacuum, vacuum level and run cycle. In addition to LEDs there are acoustical signals which sound when 0.75 bar vacuum is achieved, when the vacuum is deactivated, when the vacuum level drops below 0.6 bar during a run cycle, and when the Handpiece has reached the forward stop and the reverse stop. The EpiVision™ SL Control Console is comprised of a Vacuum. The EpiVision™ SL System includes a choice of sterile Single-Use Sets/Single-Use LASIK Sets to allow the System User to select the appropriate ring size and head on an individual patient basis. The EpiVision™ SL system is designed for use with disposable tubing that is readily available/commercially approved within the United States for other approved microkeratome systems.

The epiTome System is indicated for the separation of the epithelium from the cornea in preparation for subsequent surgical procedures on the denuded cornea.

The EpiTome System is a fully automated, AC powered ophthalmic keratome system designed for the separation of the epithelium from the cornea in preparation for subsequent surgical procedures on the denuded cornea. The EpiTome Control Console is comprised of a Vacuum System, Software, and Controls that allow the System User to set the procedure specific cutting parameters. The motorized handpiece contains two motors controlling the oscillation and translation of the cutting blade across the epithelium. The EPI-Head assembly includes a base, an applanation part, and blade unit that fits securely onto the handpiece. The precisely machined EPI-Separator controls the depth of the delamination. The EpiTome System includes a choice of suction rings to allow the System User to select the appropriate ring on an individual patient basis. The EpiTome system is designed for use with disposable tubing that is readily available/commercially approved within the United States for other approved microkeratome systems.
