`
`upcoming American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting being held from November 13
`
`through November 17 in Las Vegas.
`
`Using precision micromachining and laser-cutting technology, the KDB is engineered to
`
`excise trabecular meshwork (TM}tissue through a clear corneal incision as small as 1.2 mm,
`
`according to a company news release. It features a tip to pierce the TM, a ramp that puts the
`
`TM on stretch as the KDB is advanced, and parallel blades that excise the stretched tissue.
`
`The heel is also precision engineered with rounded edges intended to avoid damaging the
`
`outer wall of the canal of Schlemm as the surgeon advances the KDB.
`
`By excising the TM, the KDB is designed to allow aqueous to drain from the anterior
`
`chamber into the canal of Schlemm and distal collector channels. Preclinical studies have
`
`demonstrated that the KDB leaves smaller leaflets than other widely used ab-interno
`
`trabeculotomy techniques. Early clinical data will be presented at New World Medical's
`
`Annual AAO breakfast meeting, scheduled for 7 am on Sunday, November 15 at the Wynn
`
`Hotel in Las Vegas.

`
`
`
`Inventor Malik Kahook, MD, Professor and the Slater Family Endowed Chair in
`
`Ophthalmology at the University of Colorado stated, "The KDB device will allow surgeons to
`
`treat glaucoma patients in combination with cataract surgery or as a standalone procedure to
`
`restore function to the natural outflow system of the eye. Removing TM is a procedure that
`
`has been present for decades and in many forms. However, the KDB is specifically designed
`
`to enhance efficacy of angle procedures by more completely removing diseased TM tissue
`
`while minimizing damage to collateral tissues. This is a cost effective way to treat glaucoma
`
`in various geographic settings with a short learning curve for surgeons."
`
`The single-use, disposable ophthalmic knife is FDA-registered and will be commercially
`
`available throughout the United States on November 16, with worldwide release planned for
`
`early 2016.
`
`"New World Medical was established with the sole mission of benefiting humanity," Dr. Abdul
`
`Mateen Ahmed, President and CEO of New World Medical, said in the news release. "We
`
`are excited to partner with the University of Colorado and Dr. Kahook to collectively further
`
`this objective by empowering surgeons with state-of-the-art technology to enhance patient
`
`treatment.''
