| The IntraLase FS Laser is the first femtosecond laser cleared for use in a variety of refractive and corneal surgeries including LASIK, and intrastromal incisions used with ring implants, lamellar keratoplasty, penetrating keratoplasty, and for the preparation of the donor tissue used in corneal transplants. Palmisano continued, "We are looking forward to our planned September 2006 launch of the IntraLase FS(R) laser application for penetrating keratoplasty, considered by many leading surgeons to be a breakthrough technology for corneal transplants. In addition to LASIK, the IntraLase technology is used to create incisions for lamellar keratoplasty, penetrating keratoplasty, intrastromal ring implants and for the preparation of the donor tissue used in corneal transplants. |
