DGH 55 Pachmate

Handheld Portable Design for Clinical and Surgical Use

The DGH 55 Pachmate's compact, battery-powered handheld design supports corneal pachymetry at the slit lamp, chairside, and within the operating room. Portability makes the Pachmate suitable for clinical environments where a bench-top instrument is impractical or unavailable.

High-Frequency Ultrasound Contact Measurement

A high-frequency ultrasound probe delivers precise contact corneal thickness measurement across the central and peripheral cornea. The contact ultrasound approach provides accurate A-scan pachymetry results for glaucoma management, refractive surgery screening, and intraoperative assessment.

Automatic Multiple Measurement Averaging

Multiple consecutive corneal readings are captured and averaged automatically, minimising inter-measurement variability and providing a reliable mean corneal thickness value for consistent clinical documentation across varied operators.

Battery Powered for Theatre and Mobile Use

Battery operation enables independent use without mains power, supporting intraoperative pachymetry in the operating room and mobile clinical use in examination settings without fixed instrument infrastructure.

Data Storage and RS-232 Connectivity

Measurement data is stored in device memory for review and retrieval. RS-232 connectivity supports data transfer to EMR and practice management systems for structured corneal thickness documentation within the clinical record.

CE Certified for Ophthalmology Clinical Use

The DGH 55 Pachmate carries CE marking in compliance with applicable medical device directives, satisfying procurement compliance for hospitals, specialist eye clinics, and regulated ophthalmology settings. Full documentation is available from Medigear.uk.

Glaucoma Diagnosis and Management Clinics

Central corneal thickness measurement is a clinically established component of glaucoma risk assessment and IOP correction. The DGH 55 Pachmate delivers accurate, repeatable contact ultrasound pachymetry in a handheld instrument that is practical for use at the slit lamp during glaucoma clinic examination. Its portability allows it to be moved between consulting rooms and used across multi-clinician glaucoma departments without requiring a dedicated fixed pachymeter installation at each slit lamp.

Refractive Surgery Screening and Pre-Operative Assessment

Refractive surgery safety screening requires corneal thickness measurement to confirm adequate stromal residual bed depth after planned ablation and to exclude contraindicated corneal thinning. The DGH 55 Pachmate provides the precise pachymetric measurements required for pre-LASIK, pre-PRK, and pre-surface ablation safety assessment in refractive surgery centres, including mobile screening clinics and facilities without permanently installed bench-top pachymetry equipment.

Intraoperative Corneal Assessment

Intraoperative pachymetry during cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, and other anterior segment surgical procedures requires a compact, sterile-compatible instrument that can be used directly within the surgical field. The DGH 55 Pachmate's handheld battery-powered design supports intraoperative pachymetry in the operating room without the infrastructure constraints of mains-connected bench-top equipment.

Mobile and Community Ophthalmology Settings

Community ophthalmology screening programmes, mobile eye care clinics, and outreach services require portable diagnostic instruments that can be transported to varied clinical locations. The DGH 55 Pachmate's handheld portable design makes it well suited to mobile glaucoma screening, outreach corneal assessment, and community eye care programmes where fixed instrument installation is not feasible.

For Hospitals and Ophthalmology Departments

The DGH 55 Pachmate provides hospital ophthalmology departments and glaucoma units with flexible portable pachymetry that can be used across multiple clinical rooms and in the operating theatre without fixed installation requirements. CE certification and full compliance documentation satisfy hospital procurement and government tender requirements. Medigear.uk provides institutional buyers with full procurement documentation, compliance support, and after-sales service coordination.

For Specialist Eye Clinics, Refractive Surgery Centres, and OR Environments

The DGH 55 Pachmate's handheld portable design directly addresses the clinical need for pachymetry in operating room and mobile environments where bench-top instruments are impractical. Refractive surgery centres benefit from a portable pachymeter that supports pre-operative and intraoperative corneal assessment without requiring dedicated bench-top instrument installation in each clinical and surgical environment.

For Medical Equipment Distributors

The DGH 55 Pachmate addresses a specific and consistent procurement need for portable handheld pachymetry across hospital ophthalmology departments, refractive surgery practices, glaucoma units, and mobile eye care programmes. Medigear.uk supports authorised distributors with full documentation, technical training resources, and service infrastructure. DGH Technology's established reputation positions the Pachmate as a reliable distribution product with strong and repeatable demand across ophthalmology markets.

The DGH 55 Pachmate delivers high-precision ultrasound corneal thickness measurement in a compact, handheld, battery-powered instrument that brings clinical pachymetry to the slit lamp, the consulting room, and the operating theatre with equal reliability and accuracy. Hospitals and ophthalmology departments benefit from portable pachymetry that can serve glaucoma clinics, refractive surgery screening, and intraoperative surgical use from a single instrument. Refractive surgery and anterior segment surgical units value the Pachmate's theatre-compatible handheld design. Distributors recognise the DGH 55 Pachmate as a dependable portable pachymeter with consistent demand across hospital, surgical, and mobile eye care procurement markets.
