Invitation

Monday, September 9th, 2024

IMO Event

Prof. Dr. Güell, former president of the ESCRS and lead investigator of our Artiplus clinical study, invites you to a special evening at his hospital.

We’ll discuss clinical experiences and results, explore the optical principles, and dive into market possibilities together. This evening marks the start of the Artiplus expert panel.

Agenda

R&D Session Floris

The R&D department is currently working on the hydrophobic version of the Artiflex. Simultaneously, an injector is being developed, because this lens cannot be implanted by the current spatula. The development has come to the point where the R&D department needs your help.

Floris would like to gather inputs from ophthalmologists as the working mechanism of this injector is quiet unique.

In short, the idea is that an adjusted spatula is pushed through a cartridge, so that the hydrophobic lens can also be implanted through a sutureless incision, just like the current Artiflex.

On Monday, Floris will be present at the stand and during the evening at IMO. He will bring different prototypes of the injector and some lenses, so that the design and working mechanism can be discussed with ophthalmologists. In the picture, you can see an impression of one of the prototypes.
