Bausch + Lomb has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for an enhanced patient interface kit for the Victus femtosecond laser platform, according to a company release.
The modified interface kit features a smaller diameter suction clip, a colored suction skirt, multiple suction ports along the inside of the ring and an enhanced contour handle.
Ari Kellen, MD, head of U.S. Eye Health for Bausch + Lomb, said in the release, “Bausch + Lomb takes pride in the close partnership we have with surgeons, and doctors are often the best source of innovation.”
The smaller diameter suction clip was designed in response to customer feedback, according to the release, and allows for easier opening and closing of the clip to facilitate “more efficient placement of the clip in patients with narrow fissures and smaller eye openings.”
The Victus femtosecond laser platform previously received 510(k) clearance for an advanced swept source OCT imaging system and updated software, and has additional CE marks for corneal incisions, PK and intrastromal channel incisions for intracorneal ring segments, the release said.
