Sight Sciences has launched Sion, a bladeless device used to perform goniotomy.
Sion is a manually operated instrument designed to excise the trabecular meshwork by grasping and removing diseased tissue without cutting, according to a press release.
The bladeless design, manufactured using specialized lasers, allows a more efficient tissue excision method by eliminating the risks associated with sharp instrumentation in the anterior chamber and iridocorneal angle anatomy.
“The Sion surgical instrument is an exciting addition to our robust product portfolio and shows our continued dedication to successfully developing and commercializing minimally invasive, interventional approaches to prevalent eye diseases,” Paul Badawi, co-founder and CEO of Sight Sciences, said in the release. “While our flagship Omni surgical system has the broadest and most potent MIGS mechanism of action (trabecular meshwork, Schlemm’s canal and collector channels) and therefore the largest addressable market, the Sion surgical instrument enables us to serve the growing goniotomy market subsegment with our existing commercial infrastructure and another best-in-class solution.”
