SOLX has announced that the company has received clearance from Health Canada for the use of the gold shunt in the surgical treatment of glaucoma.
In a prospective, open label study with 12 months of follow-up using SOLX’s GMS+ Gold Shunt, IOP was reduced 45.6% from the Best Medicated Baseline in patients that had failed maximum medical therapy and at least one prior surgical intervention.
The SOLX Gold Shunt is biocompatible, 99.95% pure gold and provides a pathway for the flow of aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye to the suprachoroidal space. This shunt reduces IOP without the formation of a bleb.
