Managing the non-surgical aspect of comanagement

The Xcel 455 Slit Lamp optics incorporate lenses with high-efficiency, multi-layer optical coatings that provide bright, even illumination and clear image resolution. Xcel 455 uses eyepieces that are 12.5X magnification and offer a very comfortable viewing experience. Filters included are red-free, heat absorbing, cobalt blue, and neutral density. The wide field optics and smooth movement of the base and slit elevation will ensure user satisfaction with the performance of this device.

Xcel 455 Slit Lamp is currently available in Canada, Europe, and specific countries in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Product release in the United States is planned for late 2014 pending 510K clearance.
