EASE OF USE

The new CF X-LINKER ® interface has been optimized to provide an easy and smooth experience during every phase. Every operation is managed through the touchscreen 10’’ monitor, with exclusive proprietary software. The integrated camera allows you to follow the whole treatment live. CF X-LINKER ® allows you to compile, save, or print a treatment report at the end of each procedure. You can easily save them in the internal database, export it via the integrated USB port or print it directly.

CUSTOM FAST CXL

CF X-LINKER ® is the only system in the world that can perform Custom Fast CXL (cfCXL), customized, low power EPI-ON cross-linking treatment. Our proprietary software uses a mathematical model to calculate the procedure parameters automatically, based on patients’ topographic and pachymetric values. Custom Fast CXL allows the user to provide patients with a treatment tailored to their specific needs while maintaining high safety standards.

Custom Fast CXL is supported by several international publications, with a 7-year follow-up.

(Custom Fast CXL can be performed only with CF X-LINKER ® system and RIBOCROSS ® te/RIBOFAST riboflavin solutions).
