SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 30, 2011 — OptiMedica Corp., a global ophthalmic device company, received FDA 510(k) market clearance for its Catalys laser, a next-generation cataract surgery system. Catalys combines a femtosecond laser, integrated optical coherence tomography imaging and proprietary pattern scanning technology in an ergonomic system that allows surgeons to perform image-guided preoperative laser lens conditioning. The FDA cleared the system for capsulotomy (a circular incision in the lens capsule) and lens fragmentation (segmenting and softening of the lens to prepare for removal). A clinical study...Read full article

    optical coherence tomography
    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique used in medical and scientific fields to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of biological tissues. It provides detailed, real-time, and three-dimensional visualization of tissue structures at the micrometer scale. OCT is particularly valuable in ophthalmology, cardiology, dermatology, and various other medical specialties. Here are the key features and components of optical coherence tomography: Principle of...
