BiCOM
Inc., featured its latest through the eyelid glaucoma testing DIATON tonometer
technology at Arab Health 2013 in Dubai. Handheld, pen-like tonometer allows to measure
intraocular pressure IOP without contact with eye ball, eliminating virus and
infection and is independent of biomechanical properties of the cornea or
contact lenses.
Quick and painless glaucoma diagnostic DIATON tonometer http://www.TonometerDiaton.com received a lot of attention from 85,000 visitors to the 38th Arab Health Exhibition and Congress consisting from healthcare professionals, medical facility owners and managers as well as distributors from Middle East.
Attendees representing Jordan,
Oman, Egypt,
Saudi Arabia, India,
Bahrain, and Qatar
were very intrigued by the latest DIATON tonometry technology and many were
screened for elevated eye pressure in seconds right at the exhibit.
Since DIATON is non-contact and handheld pen-like tonometer, it can be used in any setting - rural areas that desperately need glaucoma screening or Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General, Family & Specialty Practitioners office as well as Ophthalmic and Optometric practice.

DIATON Tonometer provides reliable measurements and makes it possible to diagnose glaucoma in its early stages, allowing to devise an appropriate care and treatment plan. DIATON is effective in obtaining IOP measurements for many challenging patient populations, including: those with chronic conjunctivitis, erosions, edema and corneal dimness; people who have undergone corneal surgeries; and immobilized patients and children. Also, patients do not need to remove their contact lenses.
Roman Iospa, CEO of BiCOM Inc., said, - "We're excited
to see so much interest from Arab Health show and are proud to offer our latest
DIATON glaucoma testing technology to the growing healthcare market in the
Middle East."
The UAE healthcare sector is lucrative for global companies given the government's investment in medical infrastructure in recent years. The mandatory coverage policy for Abu Dhabi residents and several public-private healthcare projects in the UAE have driven the Emirates' annual per-capita healthcare spending to about $1,500 - the second-highest in the Arabian Gulf, according to a Deloitte report in June. The figure is expected to grow at a rate of 5 per cent until 2014, it said.
