June 9, 2009
STAAR Surgical Company today announced that it has received CE Mark approval from the European Union for its KS-X Preloaded Hydrophobic Acrylic Injector for use in minimally invasive cataract surgical procedures.

It is the only preloaded lens delivery system in the world that provides single or bi-manual injection options in one single design, allowing for the smoothest IOL injection methods compared with traditional delivery systems.
