Reichert XL Tono-Pen — Used Handheld Applanation Tonometer with Carrying Case
The Reichert Tono-Pen XL is the original full-size handheld applanation tonometer — Mackay-Marg-derived measurement, single-button operation, disposable Ocu-Film tip-cover system. This used reichert xl tono-pen ships with carrying case for screening clinics, pediatric workflows, bedside IOP measurement, and any scenario where Goldmann slit-lamp tonometry is impractical.
The Tono-Pen XL captures IOP through a brief corneal applanation, displays the average of four measurements with statistical confidence reporting, and uses single-use Ocu-Film tip covers to eliminate cross-contamination concerns. Topical anesthesia required (vs anesthesia-free iCare rebound tonometers). The XL is the predecessor of the more refined Tono-Pen Avia — same measurement principle, slightly larger form factor, lower used price.
According to a National Library of Medicine-indexed study (Indian J Ophthalmol, 2025), handheld tonometry platforms maintain strong concordance with Goldmann reference instruments — supporting the rapid handheld IOP-measurement workflow the Tono-Pen XL has delivered for decades.
Why Practices Choose the Tono-Pen XL
- Single-button operation — fast workflow, minimal training.
- Four-measurement averaging — built-in statistical confidence reporting on each reading.
- Disposable Ocu-Film tip covers — eliminates cross-contamination vs reusable Goldmann tips.
- Handheld portable — bring the tonometer to non-cooperative or non-ambulatory patients.
- Carrying case included — protected transport for mobile and bedside use.
- Battery-powered — no cord tether.
- Pediatric-friendly — brief, gentle measurement vs Goldmann setup time.
- Sub-$2K used pricing — entry into Reichert handheld applanation tonometry.
Clinical Applications
- Screening clinic IOP workflow — fast multi-patient throughput.
- Pediatric IOP measurement — for children too young for Goldmann.
- Bedside / OR IOP measurement — for non-ambulatory hospital and post-op patients.
- Optometry chairside tonometry — backup or quick-check before slit-lamp Goldmann.
- Glaucoma follow-up — handheld convenience for repeat measurements.
- Mobile / outreach clinics — fully portable IOP capability.
Who This Is For
- Optometry and ophthalmology practices that need a portable tonometer alongside a slit-lamp Goldmann.
- Screening clinics, occupational health, and DOT-physical providers.
- Pediatric and elderly-care practices where mobility is limited.
- Hospital-based ophthalmologists doing bedside or OR consults.
- Budget-conscious buyers wanting Reichert quality at sub-$2K used pricing.
