HS-UK is pleased to announce the launch of the iTrack™ Advance in the UK. The iTrack™ Advance, from Nova Eye Medical, is a next generation canaloplasty device for glaucoma. It builds on the legacy of the Company’s proprietary iTrack™ device which has been used in more than 100,000 canaloplasty procedures globally.
Canaloplasty is a surgical treatment for glaucoma that is designed to re-establish the function of the conventional outflow pathway, the primary drainage pathway in the eye responsible for regulating the outflow of aqueous fluid. This contrasts with traditional glaucoma surgical treatments that bypass or remove a portion of the conventional outflow pathway.
The iTrack™ Advance features the proprietary illuminated fiber optic tip of the original iTrack™ device, which allows the surgeon to continuously monitor the location of the device in Schlemm’s canal. It also features a proprietary guide-wire mechanism that enables the microcatheter to catheterise up to 360° of the canal in a single intubation.
The new iTrack™ Advance device is designed to improve the overall efficiency of the canaloplasty procedure. Nova Eye expects the introduction of iTrack™ Advance to drive increased surgeon uptake of the canaloplasty procedure by cataract surgeons and comprehensive ophthalmologists.
Grahame Wood, HS-UK National Sales Manager, said, “We are really excited to launch the iTrack™ Advance into the UK market. The new easy-to-use handpiece makes the canaloplasty procedure faster and easier to perform, improving efficiency.”
