The Ahmed® ClearPath™ offers:
EASE OF USE (Better Accessibility and Visibility)
- Suture points of the plate are positioned anteriorly versus other models on the market, providing easier access for implantation.
CONVENIENCE (Efficient packaging)
- Both models include a preplaced 4 -inch 4-0 prolene ripcord suture and a pre-packaged 23G hypodermic needle for the convenience of the surgeon and OR staff during implantation.
SURGICAL EFFICIENCY (Better Fit and Placement)
- Model CP250 is a true single-quadrant device that fits between the muscles, eliminating the need to isolate them.
- Model CP350 has a winged design with the plate surface positioned posteriorly, designed to avoid muscle attachment points.
- Both models have a contour that is designed to naturally conform to the surface of the globe.
Product Features
- The implant consists of a medical grade silicone tube secured near the anterior suture points of the medical grade silicone episcleral plate.
- Two models are available that cover surface areas of approximately 250 mm2 and 350 mm2.
- The anterior suture points are located on the anterior side of the plate, flanking each side of the tubing track.
- The silicone plate is barium impregnated to increase ultrasound resolution and identification with CT scans, MRIs and plain skull films.
- The plate conforms to the shape of the globe at its equator and provides a surface from which fluid can be dispersed.
- The device is for single use only.
