Design for a revolutionary technology

The Cylite HP-OCT is a revolutionary ocular imaging and measurement device that overcomes issues of motion artefacts or data error that result from patient eye movement during traditional imaging procedures. Aimed for use in a variety of clinical settings, including both research laboratories and patient-serving clinics, the HP-OCT has been designed to integrate a high technology core within an ergonomic, user-friendly exterior.

Like many medical devices, our design centres around the needs of the users, in this case; clinicians and patients. Re-interpreting the core optics and internals into an approachable, intuitive and ergonomic interfaces provide a compelling counterpoint to large, established competitors.

The HP-OCT device offers a unique proposition to clinicians with its ability to replace four different devices within one versatile instrument.

The HP-OCT device also offers researchers unparalleled capabilities, extending their abilities for accurate and repeatable quantitative measurements even during large scale studies.

Strict requirements required high standards of mechanical integrity of the device enclosure, material selection, user interaction points and integration of failsafe features to prevent accidental actions such as cord pull-out or pinch points.
