Description
TonoPen Tonometer XL Medtronic Refurbished — Industry-Standard Handheld Applanation
The Medtronic TonoPen tonometer XL is the most widely used handheld applanation tonometer in ophthalmology. At 2.1 ounces, this TonoPen tonometer takes IOP measurements that correlate closely with Goldmann tonometry — in any position, on any patient, with minimal training. Fully refurbished and tested by our certified technicians before shipment.
Key Features of the TonoPen XL
- 2.1 oz / 60g — the lightest handheld tonometer available. Works in any orientation
- 1.0 mm transducer tip — micro strain gauge technology for precise applanation measurement
- Statistical confidence index — averages 4 independent readings with a reliability score displayed on-screen
- 500 samples/second — ScanLock tracking software with Leading Edge recognition ensures measurements only at true applanation
- ~1,200 measurements per battery — long-life Ocu-Cel XL batteries, replaceable
- Ocu-Film+ tip covers — disposable covers minimize cross-contamination risk between patients
- One-button operation — activate, measure, read the LCD. Minimal training required
Who Uses the TonoPen XL
- General ophthalmology — quick IOP checks during routine exams without moving the patient to the slit lamp
- Glaucoma practices — portable IOP monitoring between slit lamp visits, pre/post-procedure checks
- Emergency departments — IOP measurement on trauma patients, acute angle closure assessment, any patient who can’t sit at a slit lamp
- OR / pre-op / post-op — IOP confirmation in the operating room or recovery. Works on supine patients

Clinical Background
Handheld applanation tonometry with the TonoPen is widely validated for clinical IOP screening. A study by Deb-Joardar et al. (J Glaucoma, 2021 PMID 33596019) confirmed the reliability of handheld Tono-Pen applanation tonometry in congenital glaucoma screening, supporting its use as a portable, accurate IOP measurement tool across patient populations and clinical settings.
