Description
The MediWorks T170 R Type is a slit-lamp-mounted applanation tonometer designed to measure intraocular pressure according to the Goldmann principle.
Its pivoting R-type configuration positions the measurement prism in front of the slit-lamp microscope. This allows the practitioner to measure intraocular pressure while the patient remains seated at the slit lamp and to integrate tonometry with other routine microscopic examinations.
The calibrated mechanical system and precision optical prism are designed to provide consistent clinical measurements across a range of 0 to 80 mmHg. Its adjustable construction supports accurate positioning and reliable operation in routine ophthalmology and optometry environments.
The T170 R Type is compatible with applicable tower-style slit lamps. MediWorks specifically lists compatibility with the S360, S360s and S390L when the appropriate R-type adapter is used. Compatibility with other slit lamps must be confirmed before ordering.
The manufacturer indicates that three prisms are supplied in the standard package. The slit lamp and mounting adapter should be confirmed separately in the quotation.

- Three measurement prisms
- Applicable standard accessories
Important Note
The slit lamp is not included. The correct R-type adapter may be required and should be confirmed for the specific slit-lamp model before ordering.
Applanation tonometry involves contact with the cornea and must be performed by a qualified professional using the appropriate clinical protocol, topical anesthetic, fluorescein and properly disinfected prisms. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, disinfection and use.
