Description
Additional characteristics:
VITRA 810 (Quantel Medical, France) is a universal infrared laser that allows for transscleral threshold and subthreshold laser coagulation of intraocular structures – the SubCyclo laser procedure.
Key features of VITRA 810
— Infrared wavelength of 810 nm for transscleral treatment.
— Subliminal subthreshold mode for tissue-preserving treatment.
— Non-destructive SubCyclo laser procedure for glaucoma that improves uveoscleral drainage.
— One laser – two clinical applications (treatment of glaucoma and the retina).
SubCyclo laser procedure
SubCyclo is a safe and effective non-thermal method for treating glaucoma based on the principle of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation. The procedure reduces IOP by stimulating the ciliary body and uveoscleral outflow tract of aqueous humor without destructive consequences. Since the method is non-destructive, it can be used at an early stage of the disease in patients with open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma, not just in cases that are resistant to treatment, and the procedure can be repeated if necessary.
The SubCyclo probe is based on the patented SubLiminal technology.
Application
‣ Subthreshold transscleral laser coagulation of the ciliary body is used to treat primary open-angle glaucoma, closed-angle glaucoma and refractory forms of glaucoma.
‣ Threshold transscleral laser coagulation is used in cases of glaucoma that are not controlled by conventional treatment methods, as well as in terminal painful glaucoma.
‣ Transscleral laser coagulation can also be used in organ-preserving treatment of patients with intraocular neoplasms.
