pho·ton [ fo· tòn ] (plural pho·tons) noun
quantum of electromagnetic radiation: a quantum of visible light or other form of electromagnetic radiation
demonstrating both particle and wave properties. A photon has neither mass nor electric charge but possesses energy and momentum.

  The Synergetics' PHOTON™ begins a new era in intraocular laser and illumination. A drastically improved visual field enables you to see better, perform bimanual surgery easily, AND incorporate laser and illumination through our Bullseye™ laser illuminators. 

Bullseye™ laser illuminators provide coaxial laser and illumination through a single fiber optic and 25ga illumination levels exceed all current 20ga illumination systems. Through careful filtering of certain wavelengths, illumination levels can be increased without increasing phototoxic risk.Two different ports offer you the ability to use two full power illumination probes simultaneously. Each port is equipped with its own light intensity control knob.

A built-in Laser Power Sensor enables you to test your laser output at any time and obtain an accurate reading through the Laser Power Indicator.

The Bullseye™ Laser Illumination port receives all Photon™ - compatible disposables - illumination and laser/illumination.

 

 
   
   

Microfiber Technology™

     The PHOTON™ is capable of dramatically greater light output than traditional light sources. Through the use of microfibers™, Synergetics has chosen to limit the amount of light entering the eye to levels marginally greater than that which you are currently using. 20ga accessories become more elegant and 25ga accessories become truly useful. As always, Synergetics recommends that the minimum light levels required be used.

   
BullseyeTM Laser/Illumination

     A passive laser path within the PHOTON allows for coaxial laser and illumination down a single fiber. This Bullseye™ laser design eliminates wasted space associated with traditional two fiber illuminated laser probe designs, providing the brightest illuminated laser probe possible. The Bullseye™ next generation technology makes our 20ga and 25ga directional illuminated laser probes a product of today!!!
   
25ga Surgery

The abundance of light produced by the PHOTON™ overcomes one of the biggest shortfalls associated with 25ga surgery… inadequate light. PHOTON™ light in 25ga surgery is in fact brighter than 20ga illuminators used on a standard vitrectomy machine light source.
   

PHOTON™ SmartCard™

Unique to the PHOTON™ is a light intensity indication card (SmartCard™) that accompanies every PHOTON™ disposable you purchase. The SmartCard™furnishes you with the recommended settings ranges for each specific Synergetics' PHOTON™ disposable you use.

   

 

The PHOTON™

PHOTON™

The original PHOTON™ offers two ports—one illumination only port and the second port that can be used for either endoilluminators or illuminated laser probes. Built into this model is a passive laser path. By connecting to a laser via our interconnect cable, the laser path travels through the PHOTON™ and out through the connected illuminated laser probe. A built-in power sensor gives you the opportunity to test your laser throughput at any time by simply firing the laser probe approx. ¼” from the sensor and reading the LCD display at the top.

   
PHOTON™ 1X

The most basic of our models is the PHOTON™ 1X. With one Chandelier Infusion Cannula you can have light throughout the eye—including the periphery—and also have it serve as your infusion line WITHOUT compromising flow. If one illumination port is all you need, this could be your answer.

   
PHOTON™ 2X

For those of you who want only illumination, the PHOTON™ 2X is for you. Both ports are illumination only. The laser functionality has been removed from this model, so it will not include any laser sensor or LCD display window. Both ports may be used simultaneously with optimum light output at each.

   

 

 

 

 

Endoilluminators and Laser Probes
What truly sets the PHOTON™ apart from the competition is its extensive line of laser probes and endoilluminators.

Our probes and endoilluminators have been designed to work most effectively with the PHOTON™. We use smaller fibers in our endoilluminators because we can and yet still give you more light than other light sources. Smaller fibers also offer us the opportunity to create more multifunctional disposables because of the additional space in the tube.

Look at our list of endoilluminators and laser probes for the PHOTON™ and compare it against what is offered from other light source manufactures...it may surprise you.
