The SightSaver visual stimulator from Anschel Technology is designed to help prevent post-op vision loss among patients undergoing procedures for cardiac, spinal, head and neck, orthopedic and those involving the optic nerve. FDA-approved to facilitate the monitoring of the visual system during surgery, the disposable device applies a light stimulus to the eyes to elicit an evoked response. Older methods rely on the use of goggles with embedded light emitting diodes which can be unhygienic, uncomfortable, fall off the patient and interfere with the surgical approach. SightSaver features adhesive foam padding shaped to the contours of the periocular region. Its light source consists of high intensity light emitting diodes, which provide a much stronger stimulus and can interface and integrate seamlessly with a cable compatible with standard clinical neurophysiology systems used for triggering an LED goggle device.
