Ambu Monitor for Endoscopy/Bronchoscopy – An Ambu Monitor is a portable high resolution monitor offered by Ambu, a Danish company that develops, produces and markets single-use endoscopy solutions, diagnostic and life-supporting equipment to hospitals, private practices, and rescue services. The Ambu monitor is compatible with all of Ambu´s single-use flexible scopes and is easy to use and set, and is ready within seconds when turned on.
Cardio Lab Healthcare ICU Ventilator – Healthcare ICU Ventilators deliver fresh oil-less medical air continuously with high flow capabilities having indications for low pressure and voltage drop. It has quiet operation while supplying oil-less air to Resuscitators, Bubble CPAP and High Flow Oxygen Therapy.
Anesthesia Ventilator - Anaesthesia ventilators are an integral part of all modern anaesthesia workstations. Anaesthesia ventilators have either a double circuit, bellow design or a single circuit piston configuration. Modern anaesthesia ventilators also provide newer modes of ventilation such as synchronised intermittent mandatory ventilation, pressure-control ventilation and pressure-support ventilation (PSV). PSV mode is particularly useful for patients maintained on spontaneous respiration with laryngeal mask airway
Constellation Vitrectomy Surgical Machine - The Constellation Vitrectomy Surgical Machine is an ophthalmic microsurgical system that is indicated for both anterior segment (i.e., phacoemulsification and removal of cataracts) and posterior segment (i.e., vitreoretinal) ophthalmic surgery.
Vitrectomy Machine - Vitrectomy is an ophthalmic surgical procedure where the vitreous humor gel that fills the eye cavity is removed to provide better access to the retina. This allows for a variety of repairs, including the removal of scar tissue, laser repair of retinal detachments and treatment of macular holes. The vitrectomy machine finds applications in conditions such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, vitreous haemorrhage due to bleeding in the eye from injuries and retinal tears, and vitreous floaters because of deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye.
Legion System – The Legion System is a Phaco System offered by Alcon, a Swiss medical company specializing in world class eye care products. Alcon provides an extensive customized offering of phaco systems according to customer’s needs and preferences.

The system features torsional OZil technology and advanced gravity fluidics. With the launch of LEGION system, Alcon provides an extensive customized offering of phaco systems according to customer’s needs, preferences and budget requirements
Infinity Phaco emulsification Machine - A phacoemulsification machine is a device intended to break up and remove lenses of the eye that have cataracts. Phacoemulsification is a modern cataract surgery method in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. Aspirated fluids are replaced with irrigation of balanced salt solution to maintain the anterior chamber.
Femto Laser Lasik - Femtosecond-assisted (Femto) laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a type of laser eye surgery. This method, along with other refractory surgeries, is used to reshape the cornea of the eye in an effort to resolve vision problems. FEMTO-LASIK is the safest, most modern and most customized treatment for correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism
Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) – FLACS is a method for using an ophthalmic laser system to remove cataract tissue from the lens capsule of an eye Femtosecond laser technology enables precise incisions in the cornea and minimizes manipulations and energy required to fragment and emulsify the lens, resulting in less damage to surrounding tissues compared with manual techniques.
Sterilization - Sterilization can be achieved through many different methods. Common methods in the sterilization of ophthalmic instruments include the Steam Sterilizer, ETO Gas Sterilization etc. The Horizontal High Speed Cylindrical Autoclave Sterilizer is a highly effective method of sterilizing and disinfecting objects through the use of heat in the form of steam, pressure and time. A horizontal autoclave comprises of a sterilization chamber, boiler, piping and fitting, sensors and control panel; all parts and components are jointed and fitted on a stand; this makes a complete floor mounted unit
Instrument Dryer Device – Medical Instrument Dryers are designed to cover each aspect of hygienic processing and require minimum time consumption & human intervention. Allowing for quick drying of washed equipment in the OT. Further, its working also ensures no contamination to washed equipment. Also supporting reduction in microbial counts, it is effective for drying stainless steel equipment as it bears a reflective surface.
Washer Disinfector - A washer disinfector is used for the automated cleaning and disinfection of instruments in practices, clinics, dental offices, medical centers and hospitals. The automated metering of the liquid process agents consisting of cleaning agent, neutralizer and rinse aid optimizes the cleaning and drying outcome.
Distilled Water Plant - A water distillation plant is a large-scale distillation solution that can be used extensively in the medical field. Because distilled water is so pure, it is a common tool used in the medical field. Hospitals use distilled water to sterilize materials. Surgeons use distilled water during medical procedures.
Ultrasonic Bath - Ultrasonic baths are a cleaning method that uses ultrasound and a liquid to clean objects. Because it is reliable, it is often used for the final cleaning of components and tools.
Quick Rinser - The Quick Rinser uses pressurized water and air to efficiently rinse reusable lumened instruments and tubing, such as phaco handpieces, vitrectomy cutters, and I/A tubing. The compact system provides consistent rinsing pressure and also eliminates hand fatigue associated with repetitive syringe use.
