Description
The MediWorks T170 Z Type is a slit-lamp-mounted applanation tonometer designed to measure intraocular pressure according to the Goldmann principle.
Its Z-type configuration is intended for compatible Zeiss-style slit-lamp mounting systems. The instrument positions the measurement prism in front of the microscope, allowing the practitioner to perform tonometry while the patient remains seated at the slit lamp.
The calibrated mechanical system measures intraocular pressure across a range of 0 to 80 mmHg. Its 7 mm optical prism and ±1.5 mm prism movement support controlled positioning and consistent clinical measurements.
MediWorks lists the Z-type mounting adapter for use with its S260 and S260s slit lamps. Compatibility with other Zeiss-style slit lamps must be verified according to the mounting interface and adapter before ordering.
The instrument is compact and weighs approximately 284 g, making it considerably lighter than the R-type configuration. MediWorks T170 product information

Important Note
The slit lamp is not included. The correct Z-type adapter or compatible mounting interface must be confirmed before ordering. Being “Zeiss Style” describes the mounting configuration and does not mean that the product is manufactured by Carl Zeiss.
Applanation tonometry involves corneal contact and must be performed by a qualified professional using the appropriate clinical protocol, topical anesthetic, fluorescein and properly disinfected prisms.
