SAN DIEGO — Abbott Medical Optics announced the US launch of the Tecnis iTec preloaded delivery system and the Compact Intuitiv phacoemulsification system at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery annual meeting, according to a company release.
The Tecnis iTec inserts the Tecnis 1-Piece IOL through a 2.2- to 2.4-mm incision without the surgeon having to touch or load the lens, and fewer steps are needed than for traditional cataract procedures, the release said.
The Compact Intuitiv system is a part of the company’s cataract surgery product line that features advanced fluidics and multidirectional ultrasound for phacoemulsification to provide chamber stability and minimal clogging, according to the release.
