Right on the Mark
“Precision treatments with the YAG/SLT laser”
NIDEK, a leading manufacturer of modern YAG lasers, introduces the advanced YAG and SLT combination laser, YC-200 S plus, and the enhanced YC-200 YAG laser. A suite of technologies has been incorporated in these lasers to achieve seamless function and greater precision. Features for targeting pathology, accurate energy delivery, and operative assist functions allow the surgeon to deliver treatments “Right on the Mark”.
Precise Treatment
Refined Laser Delivery with Lower Energy
The YC-200 S plus / YC-200 achieves 1.6 mJ plasma threshold in air*1, delivering accurate and robust treatments with lower energy.
SLT Mode
The YC-200 S plus offers an advanced SLT mode.
SLT is highly effective for treating open angle glaucoma.
SLT-NAVI
The SLT-NAVI feature presents an intuitive display on the progress of laser treatment, providing the surgeon with important feedback.
Cornea-friendly SLT
With a 5.5° cone angle, the YC-200 S plus is designed to decrease energy density on the cornea for sparing tissue from repeat treatments. The energy density on the cornea is reduced by more than one-third with a 5.5° cone angle compared to a 3.0° cone angle.
Exact Targeting
Clear and Sharp Field of View
An improved optical design that optimizes resolution and contrast, and an expanded focal depth provide a clear view of pathology and treatment. A unique illumination system with an LED light source results in a bright, near-natural view that minimizes aberration. The sharp, clear optics provide an enhanced view of the treatment area.
Precise Aiming Beam
- Motorized Rotatable Aiming Beam (YAG Mode): The dual aiming beam offers superior targeting with a 360° rotating aiming beam that can avoid corneal opacities and achieve more accurate focusing.
- Precise Edge Aiming Beam (SLT Mode*) : Parfocality delivers a clear view for easier focusing of the aiming beam through the contact lens.
Wide Range of Focus Shift
The focus shift enables a 500 μm anterior or posterior axial shift of the focal point of the YAG laser. A change in 25 μm increments achieves precise treatments irrespective of the severity of pathology.
Smooth Operation Workflow
Optimized Operating Distance
Maximized working distance allows easier manipulation of the contact lens, and the short operating distance decreases surgeon fatigue during treatment.
Unique Joystick
- Utility S-switch : The S-switch on the joystick changes treatment settings without shifting gaze from the oculars. The ease of use allows surgeons an increased level of comfort during treatment.
- Remarkably Smooth Motorized Joystick : To enhance surgeon comfort, the YC-200 includes the acclaimed motorized joystick used in other NIDEK devices.
- Improved Slit Lamp Functionality : The same control functions as the general Zeiss-type slit lamp enhances operability.
Control Box and Key Card
An intuitive graphic user interface and easy-to-read touch screen color LCD allow quick and easy setup and verification of treatment parameters. An SD card starts the unit, enables software upgrades, and saves treatment summaries.
