In this study from doctors Mark Gallardo ????, Mahmoud A. Khaimi, MD ????, Norbert Koerber ???? and Simon Ondrejka ????, a whopping 98% of eyes saw IOP reduction over 12 months. The key takeaway? The ability of canaloplasty to treat multiple sites of obstruction in the conventional outflow pathway may offer the advantage of greater consistency in outcomes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The iTrack? Advance has a CE Mark (Conformité Européenne) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) #K221872 for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma. The iTrack? Advance is indicated for fluid infusion or aspiration during surgery. The iTrack? Advance is indicated for the cutting or disruption of the trabecular meshwork during goniotomy procedures.* The iTrack? Advance is indicated for catheterization and viscodilation of Schlemm’s canal to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma. * The iTrack? Advance cutting function (goniotomy) is a Class 1 510(k) exempt device function that is not specifically indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) or the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.

Can canaloplasty achieve a consistent reduction in IOP on an eye-by-eye basis? Dr. Mark Gallardo from El Paso, Texas (USA) was determined to find out. His four-site study across the U.S. and Europe put iTrack? canaloplasty to the test—and the results speak for themselves… 98% of eyes saw IOP reduction over 12 months. Whereas the efficacy of focal MIGS procedures depends on whether the site of stent placement or tissue removal coincides with the point(s) of obstruction, canaloplasty treats multiple sites of obstruction in the conventional outflow pathway, which may offer the advantage of greater consistency in outcomes.
