ABOUT CANALOPLASTY

First introduced in 2008, canaloplasty is a surgical treatment for glaucoma that targets the main sites of outflow resistance in the conventional outflow pathway: the trabecular meshwork, Schlemm's canal, and the distal collector channels. Based on the same principles as angioplasty, a flexible microcatheter is cannulated 360 degrees around Schlemm's canal during the procedure to manually break and remove blockages. Next, viscoelastic fluid is injected into Schlemm's canal as the microcatheter is withdrawn to dilate the distal outflow system and to improve the function of the trabecular meshwork.

Canaloplasty is typically performed using either of the following two surgical techniques:

  • Performed via an ab-interno surgical technique, canaloplasty is a highly effective treatment option for cases of mild-moderate glaucoma. It typically reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) to the low teens. It has also been observed to reduce patient dependence on medications. The ab- interno surgical technique is an implant-free,tissue-sparing procedure that preserves future treatment options.

  • Performed via an ab-externo surgical technique, canaloplasty is a highly effective treatment option for patients with severe glaucoma that overcomes the risks and discomfort associated with traditional glaucoma surgery. With over 100,000 procedures performed to date, clinical studies show that canaloplasty has an excellent safety profile, with minimal post-operativefollow-up, fast recovery time, and infrequent intra-operative and postoperative complications.

ABOUT THE iTRACK™ PORTFOLIO

Nova Eye Medical (formerly iScience Interventional) pioneered the canaloplasty market with the launch of the world's first canaloplasty device, iTrack™, in 2008. Since then, more than 120,000 canaloplasty procedures have been performed with the iTrack™ canaloplasty device, cementing its role in the treatment of glaucoma both as a standalone procedure and in combination with cataract surgery.

The iTrack™ canaloplasty microcatheter has been cleared for the indication of fluid infusion and aspiration during surgery, and for catheterization and viscodilation of Schlemm's canal to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with open- angle glaucoma. The iTrack™ canaloplasty microcatheter is currently not 510(k) cleared for use with the ab-interno technique in the United States.
