FCI Ophthalmics, Inc.
Marshfield Hills, MA - FCI Ophthalmics, Inc. is pleased to announce that the unique
Henderson Capsular Tension Ring was recently approved for marketing in the United States by the US Food and Drug Administration.
The Henderson Ring is a special design of the popular capsular tension rings (CTR) manufactured by Morcher GmbH of Stuttgart, Germany. The Henderson Ring is an open C-shaped loop made of a single piece of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA). Employing a Morcher propriety process (CFM) in the manufacture, the PMMA has enhanced flexibility and resistance to breakage. The ring performs the same basic function of standard CTRs by stabilizing the capsular bag before, during and after cataract surgery.
The unique design of the Henderson Ring features eight equally spaced indentations spanning the circumference of the ring creating a sinusoidal shape. The main advantage of this ring is that the new indentations allow for easier nuclear and cortical material removal while still maintaining the desired stretch of the capsular bag.
Now approved for marketing in the USA, the Henderson Ring was designed by Dr. Bonnie Henderson (Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston). It is available only from FCI Ophthalmics, Inc., the exclusive US importer and distributor.
FCI Ophthalmics, Inc. is a national company with sales representatives and distributors throughout the United States. Already serving the ophthalmic community with a wide variety of products and devices, FCI is pleased to be able to provide surgeons with the new Henderson Ring that will facilitate capsular clean-up while still providing the regular CTR function.
