Haag-Streit UK relaunches the Perkins Mk 3 hand-held applanation tonometer

Haag-Streit UK is pleased to announce that they have relaunched the Perkins Mk 3 hand-held applanation tonometer.

Haag-Streit UK discontinued the Perkins Mk 3 earlier in the year, but due to popular demand, they have made the decision to start supplying the product again to customers in the UK and abroad.

Established for over 50 years, Perkins is synonymous with being the ‘gold-standard’ in hand-held applanation tonometers. The Perkins Mk3 provides the same proven accuracy as other clinically trusted Haag-Streit manufactured tonometers. It is compatible with the Tonosafe disposable tonometer prism, which is recognised as the ideal solution for reducing the risk of cross-infection, but it can also be used with reusable Goldmann tonometer prisms.

The Perkins Mk 3 is portable for use outside the traditional consulting room environment and has been specifically designed to examine patients who have often been difficult to assess by traditional applanation tonometry methods, such as bed-ridden, wheelchair-bound, paediatric, or community-based patients. It’s easy-to-use, lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for measuring Intraocular Pressure (IOP), even if the patient is lying down. With innovative built-in LED illumination, the product can be used effectively even in low-light environments.
