Accutome PachPen

Pen-Style Handheld Ergonomic Design

The PachPen's distinctive pen-shaped form factor places the ultrasound probe at the instrument tip, enabling natural, comfortable single-handed probe placement during corneal pachymetry. The pen-style grip supports precise, controlled contact measurement across varied examination positions and operator preferences.

High-Frequency Ultrasound Contact Measurement

High-frequency ultrasound contact pachymetry delivers precise corneal thickness readings suitable for glaucoma management, refractive surgery safety screening, and intraoperative corneal assessment. The probe tip is applied briefly to the anaesthetised corneal surface, providing accurate A-scan pachymetric measurements.

Automatic Probe-Triggered Measurement

Measurement activates automatically on probe contact with the corneal surface, eliminating manual triggering and reducing operator-dependent variability. Auto-trigger supports consistent measurement conditions across clinical users of varied experience.

Multiple Measurement Averaging

Multiple consecutive corneal thickness readings are automatically averaged, minimising inter-measurement variability and delivering a reliable mean value for accurate clinical documentation, pre-operative planning, and longitudinal corneal monitoring.

Portable Battery-Powered Design

Battery-powered portable operation enables pachymetry at the slit lamp, chairside, and in the operating room without mains power dependency, supporting flexible use across multiple clinical environments within a single department.

RS-232 Connectivity and CE Certification

RS-232 data output supports transfer of corneal thickness measurements to EMR and practice management systems. CE marking confirms regulatory compliance for hospitals, specialist eye clinics, and regulated ophthalmology settings.

Glaucoma Diagnosis and Management Clinics

Corneal thickness measurement is a clinically established component of glaucoma risk assessment and IOP correction. The PachPen's pen-shaped handheld design supports comfortable slit lamp pachymetry during glaucoma examination, enabling corneal thickness data collection within the glaucoma clinic consultation without requiring a separate fixed pachymetry instrument. Its automatic probe triggering and multiple measurement averaging support consistent pachymetric data quality across all clinical operators in multi-clinician glaucoma management departments.

Refractive Surgery Screening and Pre-Operative Assessment

Refractive surgery safety screening requires precise corneal thickness measurement to confirm adequate stromal residual bed depth and exclude contraindicated thinning. The PachPen provides the accurate pachymetric measurements required for pre-LASIK, pre-PRK, and pre-surface ablation safety assessment in refractive surgery centres. Its portable pen-style design is suited to both dedicated refractive surgery assessment suites and mobile pre-operative screening environments.

Intraoperative Corneal Assessment

The PachPen's battery-powered handheld pen design enables intraoperative pachymetry in the operating room during anterior segment procedures including cataract surgery and corneal transplantation. The compact pen form factor supports direct corneal measurement at the surgical field without the mains power and space constraints associated with bench-top instruments.

Corneal Disease Monitoring and Cataract Pre-Operative Assessment

Corneal disease monitoring in keratoconus, Fuchs dystrophy, and post-surgical corneal assessment requires serial pachymetry across multiple clinic visits. The PachPen's portable design supports consistent measurement across clinic rooms and settings. Pre-operative cataract assessment benefits from the PachPen's ability to assess corneal reserve in eyes with dense media opacity before surgical planning.

For Hospitals and Ophthalmology Departments

The PachPen provides hospital ophthalmology departments and glaucoma clinics with compact, portable pen-style pachymetry for use across multiple clinical rooms and in the operating theatre without fixed installation. CE certification and full compliance documentation satisfy hospital procurement and government tender requirements. Its distinctive pen-style ergonomics support comfortable use across extended examination sessions. Medigear.uk provides institutional buyers with full procurement documentation and after-sales service coordination.

For Refractive Surgery Centres and Specialist Eye Clinics

The PachPen delivers accurate auto-triggered contact pachymetry in a uniquely ergonomic pen-style instrument suited to refractive surgery screening and specialist corneal assessment. The pen-shaped design differentiates it from conventional probe-style handheld pachymeters, supporting more natural single-handed probe placement across varied patient positions and examination scenarios.

For Medical Equipment Distributors

The PachPen addresses consistent procurement demand from hospital ophthalmology departments, glaucoma clinics, refractive surgery centres, and specialist eye practices for a reliable CE-certified compact handheld pachymeter with a distinctive pen-style ergonomic design. Medigear.uk supports authorised distributors with full documentation, technical training resources, and service infrastructure. Accutome's strong reputation in ophthalmic diagnostics positions the PachPen as a dependable distribution product with broad and consistent market demand.

The Accutome PachPen delivers precise auto-triggered contact ultrasound corneal thickness measurement in a compact, battery-powered pen-style instrument that brings clinical pachymetry to the slit lamp, the operating room, and every examination environment with natural, single-handed ergonomic ease. Glaucoma clinics benefit from comfortable pen-style slit lamp pachymetry that supports consistent IOP correction data across all clinical staff. Refractive surgery programmes value the PachPen's accurate pre-operative corneal thickness capability in a distinctively ergonomic portable instrument. Distributors recognise it as a dependable Accutome product with consistent procurement demand across hospital, glaucoma, and specialist ophthalmic markets.
