FEMTO LDV Z8
FEMTO LDV Z8 is the first real mobile femtosecond laser for refractive AND cataract surgery. An innovative and versatile femtosecond workstation designed for seamless integration into your operating room.

Small. Robust. Mobile. Increase your efficiency!
Tissue Adapted Pulse Management
A more powerful laser source allows for resection of a larger target volume - but without losing in precision:

  • Adjustable pulse energy from nanoJoules to microJoules
  • Very high repetition rate in the MegaHertz range
  • Precision in the cornea, power in the lens
Liquid Patient Interface
A new proprietary liquid patient interface for excellent clinical results:



  • Minimal IOP rise during surgery
  • Avoids posterior corneal folds

Special designed suction ring:
  • Less redness
  • No conjunctival hemorrhage
Image-guided surgery
The proprietary state-of-the-art OCT system enables the surgeon a clear visualization of the ocular surfaces - before, during and after the procedure.
  • High resolution images in cornea and lens   
  • Automatic detection of the ocular structures   
  • Easy and optimized planning
The FEMTO LDV Z8 features live top view imaging between different steps of the procedure.
Z-LASIK - the gold standard
With this method, the flap resection is created in a planar mode (xy-plane), at the requested depth. Fully-adjustable hinge size and position.

  • Excellent stroma bed quality
  • Natural curvature, self-sealing flap edges
  • Precise vacuum levels thanks to fully computer-controlled suction system
  • Highly flexible and intuitive software

Z-LASIK Z - the 3D mode
This new Z-LASIK method performs the resection in a three-dimensional mode. Each flap can be customized to accommodate the desired geometry.
  • Round and oval flaps
  • Angled edge as desired by surgeon

Tunnel resections for intracorneal ring segments
With the FEMTO LDV Z Models, tunnel incisions may be shaped and positioned with a very high degree of precision:

  • Pre-programmed trajectories for all ring segments
  • Manual option for customization of the trajectory
  • Possibility for one or two tunnels
  • Two separate tunnels or one complete 360° tunnel
  • Two different tunnels possible
  • Two different depths possible
  • Vertical cut on/off option
  • Easy insertion of ring thanks to complete resection
Intrastromal pockets for inlays
Intrastromal pocket incisions for inlays for presbyopia treatment - truly customizable software package:

  • Pre-programmed trajectories for most types of inlays
  • Manual option for customization of the trajectory
  • New entry tunnel geometry
  • Secondary tunnel possibility
  • New repositioning possibilities (cutting screen)
  • Very fast visual recovery thanks to smooth stroma bed and gentle resection (low energy)
Choose your presbyopia-tailored treatment.
Lamellar keratoplasty
In the past, outcomes of LK procedures have been hampered by the difficulty of obtaining a smooth, even stromal bed to receive the graft. With the FEMTO LDV Z Models excellent cutting performance, perfect resections may be performed even if this requires cutting through opacified or scarred tissue.
(D)ALK
  • Round and oval resections
  • Angled edge as desired by surgeon
DSEK
  • Ultra-thin lamellae possible

Penetrating keratoplasty
This module allows surgeons to perform a penetrating keratoplasty for both patient and donor corneas. By means of an artificial anterior chamber designed specifically for the FEMTO LDV systems, perfect donor buttons can be excised.
FEMTO LDV Z8 expands the possibilities to the lens.
Capsulotomy
Lens fragmentation
Arcuate Incisions (coming soon)
Clear Corneal Incisions (coming soon)
Capsulotomy:
A very precisely sized and centered capsulotomy can be created with the FEMTO LDV Z8. Using very low energy (nJ) a gentle resection is possible in order to minimize risks and side effects.




Advantages at a glance
  • Constant and precise in size, centration and roundness
  • More reproducible than with manual technique
  • Potentially increase of patient satisfaction and IOL selection
Lens Fragmentation:
The FEMTO LDV Z8 allows fragmentation of the lens in a  very   simple and safe procedure. Further fragmentation patterns are in development.






Tissue Adapted Pulse Management:
  • Lower energy in the cornea: proven small bubble technology
  • Higher energy in the lens: with fewer gas formation
  • Adjustment of pulse energy according to cataract grade
Added precision and reproducibility
Operating with very low pulse energy and very short pulse width, but with very high pulse frequencies, the FEMTO LDV assures a very high precision and reproducibility in comparison to manual technique.

Advantages at a glance
  • Complete control of position and angle
  • Higher precision in dimension and depth
  • Automated construction for higher reproducibility
  • Clinical outcome more predictable and constant
Clear Corneal Incisions (Coming soon):
Individual incision construction - uni, bi or triplanar - are available with this highly flexible software. Due to the custom-designed and more angled architecture, enhanced treatments can be supported.


Advantages at a glance
  • Self-sealing incisions (no sutures needed)
  • Help preventing post-op endophthalmitis
  • Reproducible dimensions
  • Tailored and flexible geometry
