Alcon, the global leader in eye care, has announced the launch of the UNITY® Vitreoretinal Cataract System (VCS) and UNITY® Cataract System (CS) in India. The new, versatile platform offers two configurations, a combined console (VCS) which is now available, and a standalone cataract system (CS), which will be commercially available in the coming months.
This platform is designed to deliver superior efficiency for vitreoretinal and cataract surgery, while enabling exceptional outcomes for patients. The systems feature many first-to-market technologies designed to deliver transformative surgical innovation for cataract and vitreoretinal surgery, including UNITY 4D Phaco, HYPERVIT® 30K and the advanced UNITY Intelligent Fluidics system. With UNITY VCS/CS, surgeons can operate at more physiologic conditions without compromising efficiency.
It is estimated that over 8 million cataract surgeries are performed annually in India, making it one of the highest volumes of cataract surgeries globally. The workload of surgeons is also very high with just one ophthalmologist for every 100,000 people.
The combination vitreoretinal and cataract system intelligently transforms vitreoretinal and cataract surgery with first-to-market innovations. With the introduction of UNITY Intelligent Fluidics, a unique pressure and flow control technology with real-time sensing, surgeons can expect surgical stability and efficiency at each step of the procedure.
