The new product, Onatec ophthalmic microsurgical sutures, represents a significant step forward in eye care, designed to meet the evolving needs of surgeons and improve patient outcomes.
The announcement, made at the annual AAO event held from 18th to 21st October 2024, was welcomed by eye care professionals eager to explore the new offering. Onatec sutures have been developed to provide exceptional performance during delicate eye surgery, ensuring minimal trauma to tissues while enhancing precision and patient comfort.
Speaking about the launch, Tom Testa, CEO of Corza Medical, explained the company’s commitment to advancing ophthalmic care through innovation. “Onatec represents Corza Medical’s commitment to growth in the ophthalmic surgery market.
