Tabbed design with titanium construction provides contact lens stability in vitreoretinal procedures.

Mentor, Ohio (November 29, 2006) – Securing surgical lenses to the eye with sutures provides stability for contact lenses during vitreoretinal procedures.  To complement the company’s line of Direct and Indirect Surgical lenses, Volk Optical has introduced the Suture Ring.  Volk’s unique design facilitates optimum suture placement with minimum turnaround between procedures.

Volk’s Suture Ring design features two tabs, precisely positioned to provide a convenient and stable location for suture placement according to standard suturing techniques.  The ring’s large radius increases functionality and safety during use. 

The premium surgical implant grade titanium (6AL/4V) construction withstands the wear of repeated steam sterilization; it can be safely sterilized with an in-office autoclave for quick turnaround.  This durable material also offers optimal biocompatibility, minimizing potential adverse patient reactions.

Volk Suture Rings are compatible with the company’s Mini Quad®, Mini Quad® XL and Mini Quad®ACS™, Central Retinal and Central Retinal ACS™, and Super Macula Indirect Lenses, as well as its line of Direct Image ACS™ surgical lens styles.
