ClearSight™ Intraocular Lens | Sharklet Technologies, Inc.

http://sharklet.com/our-products/intraocular-lens

Sharklet uses micropattern alone to control cell migration, eliminating the need for costly follow-up procedures after IOL placement. Cataract surgery commonly results in clouding of the new lens. This effect, known as posterior capsular opacification (PCO), is cause by epithelial cells migrating onto the newly implanted lens. A laser capsulotomy surgery can remove these cells, but is a costly procedure and not widely available around the world. PCO occurs in 50% of cataract surgeries. Images from a migr...

The Sharklet Endotracheal Tube. Sharklet uses micropattern alone – no antibiotics or chemicals – to prevent mucus occlusion and control bacterial biofilm on tube surfaces. The Sharklet endotracheal tube uses a special pattern inside the tube to prevent this dangerous buildup of mucus. These images show mucus occlusion on a smooth control surface as well as a Sharklet surface. These laser confocal images show the lack of buildup on Sharklet micropatterned surfaces. Bacteria adhere to ETTs and form strong,...
