Notice Information

Notice Title

WT25-064 Preserflo for Glaucoma Patients

Notice Description

The Preserflo MicroShunt is an innovative glaucoma drainage system that offers a less invasive procedure for patients with glaucoma.

Implementing this system benefits the Trust by allowing more patients to be treated in one theatre list, enhancing patient treatment and care. Additionally, the Preserflo MicroShunt improves the quality of care, reduces patient waiting times, and decreases the need for follow-ups or inpatient stays. Currently, Santen UK Limited stands as the sole supplier of this product in the market, with no other competitors offering the same product.
