Icare TA01i

This used Icare TA01i handheld tonometer uses rebound tonometry technology to measure intraocular pressure quickly and comfortably, without the need for topical anesthetic drops that traditional applanation methods require. The TA01i sends a lightweight, disposable probe to briefly and gently touch the cornea, and its internal sensors calculate IOP based on the probe's deceleration and contact time, delivering a reading in seconds. This approach has made rebound tonometry popular for pediatric patients, anxious adults, and quick screening scenarios where anesthetic drops are impractical. The unit offered here has been used in a clinical setting and shows normal cosmetic wear from handling, while remaining fully functional for accurate IOP measurement. It retains its probe holder and operates on the same rebound principle that has made the Icare line a trusted alternative to Goldmann style tonometry in many practices. Because it requires no slit lamp mounting, it offers exam flexibility for home visits, school screenings, and bedside assessments alike. This TA01i is well suited for optometry and ophthalmology practices, as well as mobile screening programs, that want a portable, anesthetic free option for intraocular pressure checks. Buyers should plan to source new single use probes as needed, since probes are a consumable component of rebound tonometry.
