Translation platform and OSNAT 800 chin platform – PulseMedica

PulseMedica is developing the OSNAT 800, a medical device that enables precise, controllable vitreoretinal laser surgery.
One of the major competitive advantages of the OSNAT-800 is its ability to offer clinicians precise control over the various aspects of the lasers. This control will result in a significant improvement in patient outcomes due to increased surgical accuracy and decreased destructive thermal energy required for treatment.

However, for this competitive advantage to hold true, the entire structure of the device and all of its elements need to be of the highest standards. In this project, we are specifically focussing on improving the chin rest and the translation stand. These two components are very important to the success of our device because during the laser treatment procedure, it will be imperative that the patient’s eye position is stable and perfectly aligned with the device despite slight head movements. Since our current translation stand and chin rest have various limitations that restrict the accurate delivery of lasers in the eye, further development is needed.
