Enhanced Surgeon Control
The VIA360 Surgical System is thoughtfully designed with intuitive features to optimize surgeon control. Its proprietary ActiveInject Technology enables on-demand viscoelastic delivery independent of catheter movement, and its Smart Prime System optimizes viscoelastic volume ensuring efficiency throughout the procedure.2 The device's microcatheter is uniquely designed to advance up to 360 degrees with micro-channels configured to deliver viscoelastic both forward and tangentially ensuring the delivery of ophthalmic viscoelastic fluid to targeted areas. The technology's rotatable cannula provides enhanced positioning and flexibility for a single entry without requiring full device rotation.
Targeted Viscoelastic Delivery
Ophthalmic surgeon and glaucoma specialist Inder Paul Singh, MD, explains that the ultimate value of the VIA360 Surgical System lies in its capacity to enhance overall precision and control. "The VIA360 facilitates a targeted approach that is tailored to each patient's individual needs. The technology elevates the efficiency of the procedure by allowing me to deliver viscoelastic exactly where and when it's needed, with complete control at my fingertips" says Dr. Singh, who is President of the Eye Centers of Racine & Kenosha, Racine and Kenosha, Wisconsin.
