Lenstec has announced the U.S. launch of its Softec HD Oval intraocular lens, according to a news release.
The Softec HDO IOL was cleared by FDA in June as the first oval, one-piece foldable IOL for treating cataract patients, according to the release. The HDO's oval center measures 5.75 mm x 6.5 mm.
"We expect the HDO's unique IOL design will help surgeons make the best decisions for their patients," said Lenstec Vice President George Wiseman, in the release. "We are delighted the Softec HDO is now readily available to cataract surgeons in the United States and internationally."
Lenstec is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla.
