NIDEK CO., LTD. announced the launch of the NP-T Preloaded Toric IOL Injection System. Although previously only available in Japan, the NP-T will now be available globally, the company said in a press release.
The NP-T is a fully preloaded injection system with an aspheric hydrophobic soft acrylic toric lens that provides superior operability and reliable intracapsular fixation. This system allows for a simple two-step process that involves filling the viscoelastic material and pressing the plunger for quick and easy operation. The dual silicone ring on the plunger ensures optimal and constant resistance for stable, consistent and safe IOL delivery, the company said.
The NP-T is preloaded with the Aktis Toric IOL that incorporates stable lens material. Once the lens is in the bag, it is stable with an average absolute rotation of 2.1°± 1.7° from 1 hour to 6 months postoperatively.*1 The wide contact area between the long haptics and the capsule and the 90° haptic design provides stable, well-centered IOL implantation.
According to the company, The NP-T is available in a wide range of powers from 1.0 to 30.0 D and cylinder power on the IOL plane from 0.75 to 6.00 D.*2 The injection system adopts the same mechanism as the NIDEK NP-1/NP-1C. Toric and non-toric IOL implantation with the NIDEK NP series can be performed with the same technique, the company said in the release.
