G-Probe™ Glaucoma Device

Transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) using the G-Probe glaucoma device is a long-term, effective intraocular pressure lowering procedure for many types of glaucoma patients. Patients with refractory glaucoma and those with good visual acuity can benefit from TSCPC using the G-Probe.

Treatment Parameters

G-Probe treatment   G-Probe placement   G-Probe application

Placement

Hold the G-Probe™ parallel to the visual axis with the shorter edge of the footplate firmly between the anterior border and the middle of the limbus. Laser delivery is transscleral.

 

Application

Successive applications are spaced one-half the width of the G-Probe footplate apart by aligning a side of the probe over the indented center of the adjacent application.

 

Treatment

Administer 18-21 laser applications per treatment session over 270° (three quadrants, six or seven applications per quadrant), usually omitting the temporal quadrant.

G-Probe treatment parameters are suggested by IRIDEX and are based on recommendations by experienced clinicians. Ultimately, it is the physician’s responsibility to determine appropriate treatment parameters for each case.

This array of treatment parameters has been called the “slow coagulation” technique and has proven effective for most eyes.

You can really consider TSCPC in almost all glaucoma situations, even malignant glaucoma. It is not just relegated to end-stage treatment anymore.

Dr. Jeffrey Kammer | Nashville, TN | Vanderbilt Eye Institute

kammer

TSCPC is a surgery that can be done before or after any other surgery. It is very versatile from that standpoint.

Dr. Nathan Radcliffe | New York, NY | Weill Cornell Medical College

kammer

Recovery with TSCPC is much more rapid and the postoperative care much less involved than with someone who has had an incisional glaucoma case in a surgical center.
