Quantel Medical announced the launch of the VITRA 810 laser and its new SubCyclo probe at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting being held in Chicago, October 27-30.

Vitra 810 is a versatile 810nm laser offering 2 clinical applications. Thanks to its advanced clinically oriented software interface, glaucoma and retina treatments can be performed through 4 guided treatment procedures: thermal cyclodestruction, subcyclo, photocoagulation, and TTT.

Along with the Vitra 810 laser launch, Quantel Medical is also introducing a new cyclophotocoagulation probe featuring a unique design allowing both thermal and subthreshold cyclophotocoagulation procedures with a single probe.

Thanks to its unique removable footplate design, this new probe ensures a perfect and accurate probe positioning for both treatment procedures which can be enhanced thanks to transillumination or UBM techniques, according to Quantel Medical.

“Vitra 810 laser is the successor to the Supra 810 laser which successfully introduced the SubCyclo glaucoma treatment procedure 18 months ago,” Jean‐Marc Gendre, CEO of Quantel Medical, said in a company news release. “SubCyclo is a subthreshold cyclophotocoagulation procedure generating more and more interest among glaucoma doctors. It improves the uveoscleral outflow and limits the aqueous flow production while preserving the ciliary body structures. The introduction of Vitra 810 will sustain the position of Quantel Medical in glaucoma treatment.”

AAO attendees will have the pleasure to discover the VITRA 810 laser and its new probe on Quantel Medical exhibit booth #3056. (FDA Pending)
