Clinical experience with a combination of the Clinitex photocoagulator and the Sadamel auxiliary apparatus (Fankhauser and Lotmar) is reported. This equipment proved to be very suitable for the photocoagulation therapy of degenerative and vascular processes and appeared to be only slightly inferior to the Zeiss apparatus. The coagulation at the posterior pole of the eyeball, within the distribution area of the temporal vessels, was somewhat more difficult than with the Zeiss apparatus: the longer coagulation times which are involved when smaller coagulation fields are used require more skill and experience. With coagulation outside the distribution area of the temporal vessels, on the other hand, no differences were observed in comparison with the Zeiss equipment. The Clinitex-Sadamel combination provides a practical apparatus for the photocoagulation therapy of retinal and choroidal disorders. In this combination the use of the O'Malley coagulator was extended to include photocoagulation, also through the three-reflector contact glass.
