admin — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:37:56 +0000

Ophthalmologists at South Nassau Communities Hospital are using a new micro-incision ophthalmologic surgical system that allows ophthalmologists to perform cataract surgery through a single incision that is 2.2mm or smaller. Traditional, no-stitch cataract surgery requires an incision that is 33 percent larger. In addition to this latest innovation in micro-incision eye surgery, South Nassau ophthalmologists are among the first in the region to use a cataract surgery system that has three different surgical options. This allows them to develop surgical approaches that are tailored to the needs of each patient.

Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary, DePuy Spine Inc, has launched the CONCORDE Bullet Vertebral Body Replacement, a new implant with a bulleted nose, which facilitates easy insertion, and pyramidal teeth, which resist anterior migration during posterior and minimally invasive spinal fusion procedures. The CONCORDE Bullet minimizes insertion forces, which can reduce the risk of damage to vertebral bodies. The product is easy to insert between collapsed vertebral bodies and restores height. Once inserted, its pyramid-shaped teeth provide resistance to anterior migration.
