Tonometers are highly effective devices used for treating eye related disease

Tonometers

Tonometers measure intraocular pressure in the eye. Accurate measurement of this pressure is important for diagnosing and managing glaucoma. They are available in many forms, from well-established instruments to newer, less invasive devices. Each one has its benefits and disadvantages and is used for different purposes and patient populations.

They come in a variety of styles and prices. Some are able to measure intraocular pressure without touching the eye. A new version of the Perkins Mark 2 Tonometer has an ergonomic design and a tonogrip prism holder.

According to Coherent Market insights the Global Tonometers Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028.

Non-contact tonometry reduces the risk of transmission of disease to the eye. Non-contact tonometry uses the contour-matching principle and eliminates mechanical changes. Another new model is called a Dynamic Contour Tonometer, or DCT. This device is similar to a Goldmann applanation tonometer but is not a variable-force tonometer. They can be used to diagnose or treat various eye conditions. However, it can be a good option for a patient with a narrow range of IOP. There are different types of tonometers, including the GAT, the Non-contact Tonometer, and the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer. The latter uses a disposable metallic probe and colbalt blue filter. These methods are less invasive and more convenient. Non-contact tonometry is often used in pediatric care, and it is easy for doctors to perform it in children.

Non-contact one are needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. In general, non-contact tonometers underestimate high IOP and overestimate low IOP.

Handheld one can be used to measure IOP. They are portable and use a combination of applanation and indentation to measure the IOP. This device has a small plunger and a footplate that curves upward to contact the cornea. The weight of the plunger is adjustable from 5 to fifteen grams. The amount of indentation the tonometer creates is proportional to the IOP.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...
