Bioptigen Wins $458K Loan for Validation of Intrasurgical OCT System

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Bioptigen has been awarded a $458,000 strategic growth loan from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center to support clinical validation of the company’s intrasurgical optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system.

The EnFocus system will provide 3-D visualization simultaneous with, and co-registered to, images from surgical ophthalmic microscopes. The device is intended to enable precision surgery with better patient outcomes and reduce the need for postsurgical follow-up procedures.

In September, Bioptigen received grants totaling $1.72 million from the National Eye Institute for development of the technology.

The company’s OCT imaging devices are sold to pediatric and surgical ophthalmology clinics and hospitals, and academic ophthalmology research centers globally.

Glossary
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...
ophthalmology
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eyes and visual system. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye disorders and diseases. They are trained to provide comprehensive eye care, including medical, surgical, and optical interventions. Key areas within ophthalmology include: General eye care: Ophthalmologists perform routine eye examinations to assess visual acuity,...
