The KDB Glide, a device for advanced excisional goniotomy, is now commercially available in the U.S., New World Medical announced in a press release.
The device, whose added features include a rounded heel, tapered sides and a smaller footplate, joins the Kahook Dual Blade product line, which has gained recognition for use in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
“The advantage of the Kahook Dual Blade always has been that it treats pathways of resistance as it smoothly cleaves two areas of the trabecular meshwork, creating a clean strip that minimizes fibrosis and closure over time,” Nathan Radcliffe, MD, of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, New York, said in the release. “The KDB Glide’s footplate is uniquely designed to fit into the canal of Schlemm, so it can move even more easily through the canal without causing damage, for a graceful and uncomplicated procedure.”
The device was FDA registered in October 2020.
