he PASCAL Method is a proprietary, semi-automated pattern generation technique that allows the rapid delivery of 532 nanometer laser pulses in a predetermined sequence. Representing a significant leap forward from single-spot green laser photocoagulation, the PASCAL Method allows physicians to control the precision, safety and efficiency of the photocoagulation procedure, while optimizing patient comfort and convenience.

Precise, Pre-Determined Settings
-
Square arrays (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy
-
Triple arcs for retinal tears, lattice degeneration and proliferative diabetic retinopathy
-
Modified macular grid for diffuse diabetic macular edema
-
Single-spot mode for conventional photocoagulation
Efficient and Versatile Performance
Using the PASCAL Method, physicians can deliver up to 56 spots in approximately 0.6 seconds. Pattern-specific controls, such as spot spacing, enable further customization so that patterns can be matched to retinal disease states and anatomical features.
Patient Comfort and Convenience
Physicians who have adopted PASCAL report that their patients experience less pain than with traditional, single-spot laser photocoagulation. They also report reduced treatment duration.
Topcon Medical Laser Systems (TMLS) holds the exclusive license to the PASCAL Photocoagulator technology, which was originally developed at Stanford University. Since its worldwide market introduction in 2006, PASCAL photocoagulation procedures have been performed on tens of thousands of patients worldwide.
