Palmscan P2000 FP Pachymeter
The Palmscan P2000 FP is a pachymeter designed for corneal thickness measurement in ophthalmic practice. It is associated with Micro Medical Devices and the Fastpach measurement concept. The device provides quick and reliable readings that support clinical assessment of the cornea before and after surgical procedures.
Corneal thickness is an important parameter in ophthalmology. It is used in the evaluation of glaucoma risk, in pre operative planning for refractive surgery, and in the monitoring of corneal health. The P2000 FP is built to deliver consistent measurements in a clinical setting, helping practitioners make informed decisions.
Product Overview
The P2000 FP is a compact handheld or tabletop pachymeter that uses ultrasound technology to measure corneal thickness. A small probe is placed against the cornea, and the device calculates the distance between the anterior and posterior surfaces. The result is displayed clearly on the screen and can be recorded for the patient file.
The device is designed for ease of use. Its interface guides the operator through the measurement process, and the probe is shaped for comfortable contact with the eye. The measurement is fast, which helps reduce patient discomfort and improves workflow in busy clinics.

Measurement Principle
The pachymeter uses ultrasound to measure corneal thickness. The probe emits a high frequency pulse that travels through the cornea and reflects from the posterior surface. The time taken for the echo to return is used to calculate the thickness. This method is well established in ophthalmology and provides repeatable results when the probe is correctly positioned.
The P2000 FP is designed to give stable readings even when the operator is working quickly. The display shows the measured value in micrometres, which is the standard unit for corneal thickness. Multiple readings can be taken and compared to ensure consistency.
Applications
The device is used in glaucoma clinics, refractive surgery centres, and general ophthalmology practices. It supports the assessment of corneal thickness before laser vision correction, where accurate measurement is important for safe treatment planning. It is also used to monitor the cornea after surgery and in the follow up of patients with corneal disease.
Because the measurement is quick and non invasive, the P2000 FP is suitable for routine examinations as well as for more detailed diagnostic work.
Clinical Workflow
In a typical workflow, the patient is seated and asked to look straight ahead. The operator applies a small amount of coupling medium to the probe and gently places it against the cornea. The device takes the measurement and displays the result. The operator can repeat the measurement to confirm the value and then record it in the patient file.
The P2000 FP is designed to fit into existing clinical routines without requiring extensive training. Its controls are straightforward, and the display is easy to read in different lighting conditions.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care of the probe and the device helps maintain measurement accuracy. The probe tip should be cleaned according to the manufacturer instructions after each use. The device should be stored in a clean, dry place and protected from impact. Regular calibration checks help ensure that readings remain within specification.
