Chennai, Wednesday,\u00a0November 2017<\/strong>:\u00a0Dr. Agarwal\u2019s Eye Hospital<\/strong>, India\u2019s leading eye care chain, will soon be offering\u00a0B&L\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0 Hypersonic Vitrectomy System,\u00a0<\/strong>New Stellaris EliteTM\u00a0<\/sup>Vision Enhancement System<\/strong>, an innovative technology for removing blood from eye using ultrasound unlike other machines which uses cutters. \u00a0This latest technology is the first of its kind in the world, created on the surgical platform, which would allow surgeons to have maximum control over the surgical procedures by improving the outcomes for patients with vitreoretinal problems. The global clinical trials for this has been done by Dr.Amar Agarwal at Dr.Agarwals group of Eye Hospitals<\/p>\n

\"dr<\/a>Talking about this innovation,\u00a0Dr.Amar Agarwal, Chairman,<\/strong>Dr. Agarwal\u2019s Eye Hospital<\/strong>\u00a0said, \u201cthe technology for performing vitrectomy has changed little over the last 40 years when the first single port, multi-functional pneumatic cutter was invented. With this patented technology, this would be the first & only hypersonic device for vitreous removal which is US FDA approved. It would use a novel, single needle design, a continuous open-port system and would use highly localized tissue liquefaction zone at the edge of the port to liquefy vitreous for exceptional control during tissue removal. \u201c<\/p>\n

The faster vitreous is cut, the less is the amount of traction on it and therefore there is decreased risk on retina. Modern vitrectomy technology today operates at speeds up to\u00a05,000 \u2013 7,500 cuts<\/strong>\u00a0per minute. Vitesse would enable to increase the cutting rate to approximately\u00a01.7 million cuts<\/strong>\u00a0per minute with the purpose to significantly decrease the amount of vitreous traction that occurs in vitrectomy.<\/p>\n

Mr.Sanjay Bhutani, Managing Director, Bausch & Lomb India Pvt Ltd<\/strong>. quoted that Vitesse hypersonic vitrectomy system, which represents the first major\u00a0vitreous removal innovation in 40 years, is expected to be commercially available\u00a0exclusively\u00a0on Bausch + Lomb\u2019s new Stellaris Elite\u2122\u00a0Vision Enhancement System sometime in 2018.\u00a0More details could be obtained from the Company website\u00a0http:\/\/www.bausch.com\/our-company\/recent-news\/id\/2372\/4262017-wednesday<\/a><\/p>\n

The Next-Generation\u00a0Stellaris Elite\u2122<\/strong>\u00a0has been primarily designed for surgical platform for retinal surgery, which would provide ultimate control and efficiency during the procedure and would offer many new cutting-edge innovations and greater opportunities to add upgrades and enhancements in future.\u00a0<\/strong>Vitesse would be able to provide a safer option to patients as it would help remove vitreous efficiently with less energy usage during retinal surgeries which would minimize the chances of injury. Faster cut rates and liquefaction of vitreous should ensure less vitreoretinal traction thereby minimizing complications such as retinal detachment, while performing procedures close to retina. Vitesse would give surgeon the options of doing vitrectomy in more complicated cases of Retina, which would be on account of its better control and efficiency.<\/p>\n

About Dr. Agarwal\u2019s Eye Hospital:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Agarwal\u2019s Eye Hospital a comprehensive eye hospital offering a one-stop solution for eye ailments; was started in the year 1957.

A tertiary eye care centre at Mauritius marks its first step towards establishing an international presence extended upto 13 branches covering the Indian Ocean region, African countries and East Asia.<\/p>\n

The hospital has received various awards for its inventions and services. In March 2006, Late Dr. J Agarwal, Founder-Chairman was awarded Padma Bhushan by the former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam for his dedicated services to the poor and downtrodden. The hospital received visibility in the global arena for its inventions \u2013 Micro-Phakonit (Cataract surgery with 0.7 mm size incision) in 1999 and \u2018Glued Intraocular Lens Implant\u2019 performed on a 4 year old girl in January 2008 by Prof. Amar Agarwal. In February 2009, the world\u2019s first Anterior Segment Eye Transplant Surgery was performed on a 4 month old child to treat corneal disorder. In November 2013, for the first time in the World, Dr. Agarwal\u2019s Eye Hospital, Chennai transplanted a one year old donor cornea giving a new lease of sight to a 60 year old man through the new technique PDEK (Pre Descemet\u2019s Endothelial Keratoplasty).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
