Rowe Technical Design, Inc. announces that Whole Model Eye for OCT (Tissue Phantom) is now in production!
Dana Point, CA. Rowe Technical Design, Inc. (RTD), developers of the 1st commercial optical tissue phantom for OCT, announces that their latest version of the Whole Model Eye complete with Cornea, Crystalline Lens and Retina tissue phantoms for OCT has now been released for full serial production. “We’re excited because this is our third serial production model eye, following up on the very successful anterior chamber and OCT model eyes with retina tissue phantom” notes T. Scott Rowe, company founder and president. “We are extremely pleased with the customer feedback so far, and we are ready for serial production. This is the most complete model eye we have ever produced!” The Whole Model Eye incorporates an anatomically accurate cornea with 500 um central corneal thickness, a 3 mm deep anterior chamber and realistic iris that transitions into a 3.8 mm thick crystalline lens. The eye is complete with a 4.8 mm diameter 6 layer retina, with a total axial length of 25.8 mm. Rowe also points out the ever increasing array of uses for the device: ”This is not just a laboratory tool, perfect for use with swept source OCT instruments, although we do have a good number of labs who are using these on a regular basis” he notes, “we also have clinicians purchasing these for OCT technician training, sales and marketing personnel have picked these up for use in trade shows, and companies are using these for OCT development and repair”. This device, as are all RTD model eyes, is protected by US Patent #8,480,230 “Phantom for Rendering Biological Tissue Regions”.
