Noncontact tonometers (NCT) that use air puff tonometry to measure the eye’s intraocular pressure cause the tear film of the eye to spread, increasing the risk of cross-contamination. Scientific studies* suggest that COVID-19 can spread through microaerosol transmission. No air puffs - no microaerosol spreading! The iCare tonometers are also easy to clean before and after every use. The iCare rebound tonometers use individually packed, hygienic, single-use probes that protect against microbiological cross-contamination and infectious transmissions between patients.Īs one of the only handheld tonometers in the market that use disposable probes, the iCare tonometers are a preferred choice to comply with the safety and hygiene standards that the epidemic situation demands. While measuring intraocular pressure, many conventional non-contact tonometry solutions in the market lead to the generation of microaerosol particles, tear film spread, and the risk of cross contamination. How does the innovative technology and unique design of iCare rebound tonometers significantly reduce the risk of infectious transmissions compared to traditional tonometry solutions? Single-use probes eliminate risk of cross contamination This makes the iCare tonometers an ideal choice for eyecare professionals in current times. iCare’s patented rebound technology which uses disposable probes is a proven safe and hygienic way of obtaining accurate IOP measurements. With the world grappling with the coronavirus pandemic, it is crucial to maintain strict hygiene and social distancing standards in all medical settings to prioritize the safety of both healthcare workers and patients.
