At iScience Interventional™, we continually strive to expand the range and efficacy of ocular treatments.

To that end, we are collaborating with key ophthalmic opinion leaders in pioneering a new sub-specialty called Interventional Ophthalmology. This unique discipline takes advantage of our microcatheter and guidance technologies to deliver site-specific therapies via physiological routes of access.

The procedural component of Interventional Ophthalmology is referred to as an iCath™ procedure. An iCath™ is a procedure that utilizes an iTrack™ microcatheter to deliver site-specific ocular therapies. When performing an iCath™, the ophthalmologist is free to work virtually anywhere within the ocular structure.

The surgeon armamentarium for iCath™ Anterior Segment Access Technology (ASAT) non-penetrating procedures utilizes three iScience platforms: iTrack™ 250A, iLumin™ and iUltraSound™. Posterior Segment Access Technology (PSAT) procedures use the iTrack™ 370P and iLumin™ only.

iTrack™ is a composite, multi-element microcatheter designed specifically to access small, sensitive spaces within the eye. Its illuminated, atraumatic beacon tip is designed to allow exceptional visibility and trackability, while minimizing the potential for tissue damage.

iLumin™ is a laser-diode based, micro-illumination system that provides transcleral or transretinal visualization of the iTrack™ microcatheter beacon tip. It provides direct visualization of the microcatheter location within the ocular anatomy, optimizing surgeon control.

iUltraSound™ is a high-definition imaging system that provides enhanced visualization of key ocular outflow structures in the anterior segment. iUltraSound™ provides an accurate morphological assessment of surgically created drainage passageways along with natural drainage structures such as Schlemm’s canal and aqueous collector channels. The iUltraSound™ system is unique as it's designed for in-office or intra-operative imaging.
