Health Canada has approved the Trab360 trabeculotomy system, according to a Sight Sciences press release.
The fully integrated, single-handed, single-use device allows for 360° angle access to Schlemm’s canal with a single, sub-2-mm clear corneal incision, the release said.
Health Canada has approved its use for the microcatheterization of Schlemm’s canal and for cutting the trabecular meshwork to lower IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
“Given its unique ability to access all 360° of diseased meshwork from an ab interno approach, the Trab360 is an attractive, less invasive option for my glaucoma patients with moderate to advanced disease,” Paul Harasymowycz, MD, head of glaucoma at the University of Montreal and medical director of the Montreal Glaucoma Institute and the Quebec Glaucoma Foundation, said in the release.
