Epi-LASIK

Epi-LASIK is a refractive procedure performed with an epikeratome which mechanically cleaves the epithelium from the Bowman's membrane, leaving a pristine optical zone for laser ablation.  The epithelial flap can then either be discarded or repositioned, according to the surgeon's preference. Many surgeons have made Epi-LASIK their procedure of choice for surface ablation.  With the Epi-KTM MORIA epikeratome, and the latest refinements in technique and postoperative care, Epi-LASIK produces faster healing and visual recovery than all other surface ablation procedures.

The Optimal Design for Safe, Reliable Separation Time after Time

• Unique handpiece with two independent motors for fast separator oscillation and slow advancement rate.
• Dull separator with proprietary edge geometry specifically designed for cleaving rather than cutting.
• Metal separator with extremely precise edge geometry.
• Large applanation plate provides yet an additional margin of safety.
• Suction rings with adjustable stops to customized the epithelial flap diameter.  Use the large diameter suction ring for hyperopes, flat corneas, wavefront-guided ablations, and lasers requiring large ablation zones. 
• Disposable plastic head encasing each separator to provide safety and convenience.
• Single use suction ring also available.
