Sight Sciences Inc., is a US-based company involved
in eye care technology. The company has announced the development of a
blade-less device for goniotomy. The procedure can be performed as a
stand-alone or in combination with cataract surgery.
The device consists of an upper foot which
helps guide the trabecular meshwork into the trap and tissue collection window.
The lower foot guides the device along the Schlemm’s canal. The toe gently
punctures the trabecular meshwork and facilitates access into the Schlemm’s
canal. The device has a trap in which excised trabecular meshwork tissue is
grasped and accumulates during the goniotomy procedure. A tissue collection window
permits visualization of the trabecular meshwork collected in the trap.
Trabecular meshwork tissue is excised over
several clock hours to permit aqueous flow through the Schlemm’s canal.
