Description

The Volk 2.2 Pan Retinal Lens is an essential tool for professionals in both human and veterinary ophthalmology. Designed for non-contact, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy, this lens provides a comprehensive view of the mid peripheral and peripheral retina. Its primary function is to facilitate the detection of retinal conditions such as tears and hemorrhages, making it invaluable for thorough retinal examinations.

Key Features

• Wide Field of View: Offers a static field of 56° and a dynamic field of 73°, allowing practitioners to examine the retina comprehensively.
• Magnification Balance: With an image magnification of 2.68x, it provides a detailed view while maintaining a manageable field size, compared to a standard 20D lens.
• Working Distance: A 40 mm working distance enhances ease of use, accommodating various hand sizes.

Design and Material

The lens is available in both glass and acrylic materials. Glass offers sharper imaging, while acrylic provides durability and lighter weight. The design includes a two-sided lens with a convex side facing the examiner. Some models feature a metallic rim to indicate the patient side, enhancing usability.

Versatility

Suitable for use through small pupils, the lens is ideal for new residents and seasoned practitioners alike. It produces an inverted virtual image of the fundus, aiding in comprehensive retinal assessment. The lens is slightly larger than a 20D lens but remains easy to handle.

Color Options

Available in a variety of colors including Black, Blue, Gold, Green, Purple, Red, Silver, Champagne Gold, Pink, and Multicolor. Note that the color may fade with repeated sterilization, affecting only the cosmetic appearance.

Accessories and Customization

Each lens comes with a single-lens case. Optional engraving is available, allowing personalization with up to 14 characters on the lens and 17 characters on the case.

Cleaning and Sterilization

Proper maintenance involves cleaning with mild, pH-neutral detergent and disinfecting with high-level solutions like bleach or Cidex OPA. Sterilization methods include Ethylene Oxide, Steam, Sterrad®, and V-Pro®, ensuring the lens is safe for surgical environments. Storage should be in a clean, dry place at room temperature.

Handling Instructions

The lens should be held between the thumb and index finger, positioned perpendicular to the light beam for optimal use. It should never be used if damaged, and proper drying after cleaning is crucial to maintain functionality.

Recommended Use

Ideal for ophthalmology clinics, hospitals, and veterinary practices, the Volk 2.2 Pan Retinal Lens is a reliable choice for detailed retinal examination and diagnosis.
