Introducing the next generation of the multicolor laser photocoagulator.

The MC-500 incorporates scan delivery systems and integrates the multicolor laser photocoagulator into one comprehensive platform, the MC-500 Vixi.

The MC-500 Vixi allows rapid and optimal power laser emission for laser photocoagulation with selection of various colors and scan patterns.

The MC-500 Vixi / MC-500, with its user friendly design, allows the selection (patent pending) of one,
two, or three wavelengths, among green, yellow, and red. It enables the freedom to select the
necessary color or combination of colors to increase efficiency of treatment.

The MC-500 Vixi / MC-500 enables efficient
photocoagulation even through opaque media.
In cases of cataract, better penetration is
achieved with the yellow wavelength (577 nm)
compared to green. In eyes with retinal
hemorrhage, better penetration is achieved
with the red (647 nm) wavelength.

577 nm
The 577 nm (yellow) laser is minimally
absorbed by xanthophyll and is well
absorbed by oxygenated hemoglobin
compared to 561 nm and 568 nm lasers
making it the wavelength of choice for
lesions close to the macula. This
wavelength has plentiful results achieved
with the Dye lasers.
647 nm
The 647 nm (red) wavelength has been
historically used in Krypton lasers. This
wavelength is used for photocoagulation
of deep choroidal pathology.
532 nm
The 532 nm (green) is the most common
wavelength for treating retinal pathology
with pan retinal photocoagulation

In addition to the conventional single mode, the MC-500 Vixi provides auto manipulation and
scan modes, which allows mode selection appropriate for a specific pathology.

The auto manipulation mode is for repeated laser emission with variable interval times
and conventional coagulation setting in a selectable scan pattern. The auto manipulation
mode allows the surgeon to continue laser emission while confirming spot placement

Besides conventional single deliveries the scan deliveries are added to the wide range of
multicolor laser deliveries. Both of the scan and single deliveries include attachable
models* for NIDEK SL-1800, Zeiss SL130 and 30SL/M, which provide the existing slit lamps
with new stage for scan laser treatment.
