Tiny ring. Big difference.
The Capsular Tension Ring (CTR) from Ophtec is designed to stabilize the capsular bag. CTRs are indicated for use when the zonules are weakened or compromised, helping to reduce the risk of intraocular lens luxation or decentration. Ophtec CTRs are engineered for control. Thanks to their unique tip-up design, the ring smoothly follows the curve of the capsular bag during insertion into the eye.
Why choose Ophtec CTRs:
Preloaded CTR inserter: Ringject
Ringject is a is a ready-to-use, preloaded CTR inserter, created by Ophtec. It is designed to give you full control at your fingertips and makes it ingeniously easy to insert the CTR. Order the Ringject here.
Tip-up design: Our unique ‘ski tip’
The ends of the rings are gradually formed to ‘tip-up’ like a ski tip. This allows the CTR to be easily guided in the capsular bag as the ring is dialed in. The ‘ski tips’ allow the tips to flow unimpeded in the capsular bag and not become ‘snagged’.
Compression, for a perfect circle
The pre-compression shape (oval) becomes a perfect circle under full compression. The circular shape keeps the capsular bag perfectly symmetrical.
Super strong, super flexible
Ophtec CTRs are extremely flexible and incredibly strong. Made from compression molded PMMA: a polymethyl-methacrylate, enhanced by redistributing the molecules into longer chains. Only Ophtec can tie its tension rings in a knot.
