Automated cutting process
Gebauer Medizintechnik GmbH has introduced the Doc Assistant. The company says this will enable users to experience a distinct hands-free cutting process. "The Gebauer SLc Doc Assistant eliminates the possibility of any complications caused by irregular hand movements that may occur during the cutting process from a downward pressure or rotational pressure on the donated cornea," said a company spokeswoman. "The Doc Assistant is connected to the Artificial Anterior Chamber (AAC) and serves as a solid base for the Gebauer SLc Handpiece during the pass. This new safeguard feature ensures a precise and repeatable result on every pass, and makes the process truly user independent," she said.
