UNIQUENESS AND INNOVATION

Iromed Group’s riboflavin solutions have unique, innovative and patented formulations: thanks to Vitamin E TPGS, in synergy with riboflavin, is it possible to get safe and effective results in both EPI-OFF and EPI-ON, certified by international publications, with a 7-year follow up.

 

CUSTOM FAST CXL

RIBOCROSS ® te and RIBOFAST are the only riboflavin solutions that can be used in Custom Fast CXL (cfCXL), exclusive customized low power EPI-ON treatment, in combination with CF X-LINKER ® system.

The proprietary software use a mathematical model to calculate treatment parameters, based on patients’ topographic and pachymetric data: this leads to a custom made treatment, tailored on every patients’ needs, that allows for a safe and effective procedure.

Custom Fast CXL is supported by clinical studies and publications on international papers, with a clinical 7-year follow up, unique among EPI-ON procedures. Custom Fast CXL can be performed only with CF X-LINKER ® system and RIBOCROSS ® te/RIBOFAST solutions.
