New World Medical Gains US 510(k) Clearance for the Via360 Viscodilation System for Glaucoma
Author: Jennie Crabbe
New World Medical announced Feb. 18 that it had received 510(k) clearance from the US FDA for its Via360 glaucoma surgical system.
The Rancho Cucamonga, California, company said the device would be immediately available in the US.
The Via360 is indicated for the delivery of controlled amounts of viscoelastic fluid and the cutting of trabecular meshwork, either in combination with cataract surgery or in stand-alone procedures.
New World Medical said its ActiveInject technology enables on-demand viscoelastic delivery independent of catheter movement, and its Smart Prime System optimizes viscoelastic volume throughout the procedure.
The Via360’s microcatheter is designed to advance up to 360 degrees, with micro-channels that deliver viscoelastic both forward and tangentially. The rotatable cannula provides flexibility for a single entry without requiring full device rotation.
New World Medical’s surgical glaucoma product line includes the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve; the Ahmed ClearPath valveless drainage device; the KDB Glide goniotomy knife; and the Streamline viscodilation handpiece.
