Navilas, Germany
The Navilas 577S Prime is a high‑tech navigated retinal laser photocoagulation system from the German company OD‑OS. It is one of the most advanced models in the Navilas line (flagship / top‑tier configuration).
Indications
- Treatment of retinal diseases: diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema, retinal vein occlusions, retinal breaks/degenerations, and other pathologies.
- Focal (spot) and peripheral (panretinal, PRP) laser photocoagulation.
Key Features
- Navigational technology (retina navigation) – the first fully digital system with real‑time laser guidance based on retinal images.
- Non‑contact treatment (no lens on the eye) – significantly more comfortable for the patient.
- Operates in colour and infrared (IR) illumination modes (IR is less blinding and better tolerated).
- Pre‑treatment planning, automatic positioning, and laser spot tracking.
- High precision, fast pattern delivery, treatment simulation capability (excellent for training).
- Integration into the clinic’s digital workflow, remote training capabilities.
Advantages
- Less pain and discomfort for the patient.
- More precise and controlled treatment (lower risk of misses).
- Faster than standard lasers when treating large areas.
This is premium‑class equipment used in leading ophthalmology centres for complex cases. In short – it is a «smart robotic laser» for the retina with navigation.
