VANCOUVER Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , today announced the commercial launch of the Tan EndoGlide(TM)
"As less invasive cornea transplant techniques continue to evolve, new devices are needed to safely deliver donor tissue. The Tan EndoGlide is one of the first new devices on the market designed to help surgeons handle and insert endothelial cell tissue with minimal cell loss," said Steve Bryant, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Angiotech.
The Tan EndoGlide is a device used to facilitate insertion of a donor endothelium during Endothelial Keratoplasty. The device is used by Ophthalmologists adapting to newer techniques to replace diseased corneal endothelium. The Tan EndoGlide is specifically designed for use in Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) and Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgical procedures..... The patent pending cartridge design produces a "double-coil" loading of the donor tissue for minimal endothelial touch.
