UK (14th December 2016) – Epipole Ltd. announce the launch of epiCam C, their latest colour hand-held fundus camera.
Retinal video is a game changer. With some patients you get only one chance for a good retinal image, but with high resolution video you can extract the best still images later.
You can pan and tilt the device to see retina beyond the conventional desktop camera field of view, and being non-contact and lightweight, you can take it to your seated or prone patients of all ages.
It connects to a standard Windows laptop, PC or tablet via USB cable and has no battery to charge. The epiCam C is affordable as your primary imaging device or as a complement to much more expensive devices.
First production units are currently being evaluated by leading ophthalmologists in the UK and beyond and orders are being taken for delivery in early January 2017.
Epipole CEO, Craig Robertson commented “many customers have requested a colour version of our novel amber light epiCam M device. The engineering team have developed this in a remarkable timescale without compromising on image quality. Epipole will continue to develop innovative, high quality products that help reduce the incidence of avoidable blindness around the world. epiCam C is a fine example of such a product.”
