InVitria
The revolutionary InVitria intravitreal injection assistant is now available in several models to accommodate the syringes of various popular injectable therapeutic agents for AMD.
The InVitria injection assistant, designed by Arnaldo Gonçalves, M.D. of the Netherlands, is a disposable device that simplifies and standardizes intravitreal injections by making the procedure faster and more predictable. The unique design is equipped with a guide tube which is specially oriented to ensure a fixed injection angle, position, and depth. Use of the InVitria ensures a predictable and fast procedure without the need for instruments such as a speculum, calibrator or pressure plate.
After preparing the patient for the procedure, the InVitria is carefully placed on the patient's eye using the positioning line in the center of the device. By gently pushing down and turning the device, the eye becomes fixated and the patient feels an anesthetic effect due to the pressure. With the patient unable to move the eye or see the needle, the physician can safely insert the injection into the eye using the guide tube of the InVitria device, ensuring the proper angle, depth and distance from the limbus. The point of injection is always at 3.5 mm from the orientation line. Turning the InVitria back again after removing the needle returns the displaced conjunctiva over the injection site thereby preventing any leakage. This device provides safe, accurate, consistent and rapid injections into the intravitreal compartment of the eye.
Because of its simple use, the InVitria injection assistant is very user-friendly, patient-friendly and budget-friendly.
Each device comes individually sterile in boxes of 25 units. All models are available now from FCI Ophthalmics, Inc., the exclusive importer and distributor for the United States.
