Transscleral Laser Therapy with MicroPulse® Technology Using the Cyclo G6® Laser and MicroPulse P3® Delivery Device*


Starting Treatment Dose Parameters & Treatment Techniques based on Guidance from the MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy (TLT) Delphi Panel1

Placement of MicroPulse P3 Glaucoma Device

Treatment Techniques1

When using the MicroPulse P3 Delivery Device with the Cyclo G6 laser:

     
  1. Keep the probe tip and the eye surface moist throughout the procedure.
  2. Place the curved end of the footplate (bunny ears) at the limbal margin. Be sure to view from directly above to avoid placement error because of parallax.
  3. Maintain the footplate of the probe flat against the conjunctiva throughout the treatment with constant, gentle pressure.
  4. Sweep the probe in a back-and-forth manner over a segment, i.e., hemisphere or quadrant.
  5. When treating, avoid the 3 and 9 o’clock positions; sites of previous trabeculectomy blebs, scleral thinning, areas of heavy perilimbal pigmentation, or directly over tubes and shunts.

Starting Dose: Mild-Moderate Glaucoma

Quadrant Approach

Laser Power 2500 mW; 31.3% duty cycle
Sweep Speed 10 Seconds
Number of Sweeps 4 Sweeps
Total Laser Duration 40 Seconds

Starting Dose: Moderate-Severe Glaucoma

Quadrant Approach

Laser Power 2500 mW; 31.1% duty cycle
Sweep Speed 10 Seconds
Number of Sweeps 5 Sweeps
Total Laser Duration 50 Seconds

Escalating Dose

The MicroPulse TLT Delphi Panel concluded that a treatment dose escalation of 20-25% could be made based on disease state or on the need for enhancement or retreatment without jeopardizing the overall safety profile of the procedure.1

Enhancement: Target IOP was not obtained or results were transient.
Retreatment Treatment results begin to wane at ≥12 months.

Example of escalating dose (25%) utilizing a decrease in sweep speed:

Quadrant Approach

Laser Power 2500 mW; 31.3% duty cycle
Sweep Speed 15 Seconds
Number of Sweeps 4 Sweeps
Total Laser Duration 60 Seconds

MICROPULSE TLT DURING COVID-19


IRIDEX During COVID-19

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, our thoughts go out to those who have been impacted. Our priority at Iridex is to support our customers, their patients and our employees. Over the past few months, ophthalmologists from around the world have been exchanging ideas and strategies to adapt to new social distancing guidelines, infection control measures, and treatment options to best manage their patients. During this time of uncertainty, many of our customers have shared with us how MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy (TLT) remains a beneficial therapy for a variety of reasons. MicroPulse TLT:

  • is non-incisional, safe, and effective
  • can be performed in the office
  • takes less than 5 minutes to performed
  • entails minimal follow-up
  • leaves future treatment options open
  • can be applied for a wide range of glaucoma types and severity
  • typically allows patients to return to normal activities within 24 hours
  • uses the Cyclo-G6 laser console that can be disinfected easily
  • uses a sterile, single-use, MicroPulse P3 fiber-optic delivery device

In a webinar titled “How I Am Treating Glaucoma During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” Dr. Jason Bacharach of California discussed how the current COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way clinicians treat and manage glaucoma. “Most patients presenting for urgent care usually require stronger IOP control, so I have turned to MicroPulse TLT to bridge this gap and I treat them in the office. This is a great tool for right now,” he said.

In a different webinar, Dr. Rajen Desai of New Jersey said: “Patients did not feel comfortable having to come back to the office for multiple post-op visits if I proposed incisional glaucoma surgery, so I realized I needed something dependable, predictable, safer, and low risk during this time. MicroPulse is playing a particular stronghold now that patients are averse to getting things done in general. They prioritize safety above all else, and that’s where MicroPulse shines because I tell them there is a very low risk of endophthalmitis.”

In a webinar about the evolution and versatility of MicroPulse TLT, Dr. Marc Toeteberg-Harms of Switzerland said: “My elderly patients were scared to be seen in the hospital. MicroPulse TLT enabled me to be able to treat in the office immediately thus avoiding a second consultation. Plus, post-op complications are low and this minimizes post-op visits. The outside of the laser machine and the footswitch are easy to clean.”

Dr. Branda Alegría of Guadalajara, Mexico contacted us via instagram to share a few photos and she told us the following: “MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy is my best ally during the COVID-19 pandemic when facing challenging glaucoma cases.”

We are here to help you. We are thankful and honored to be supporting hundreds of ophthalmologists and patients during this dificult time. As we go forward together, please know that we value your questions, ideas and feedback. If there is something in particular that you need, please email us at glaucoma@Iridex.com or contact your Iridex representative. Stay safe and healthy.

Dr. Marc Toeteberg-Harms

“The technique for performing MicroPulse TLT for glaucoma was already great in the past. The minimal tissue damage is a major advantage of MicroPulse TLT over standard cyclophotocoagulation in my opinion. Iridex has done a great job improving the MicroPulse P3 Device. The ergonomic enhancements made to the design of the MicroPulse P3 Device now allows a smoother movement during treatment. I feel much more comfortable, and this is resulting in an even safer and more stable treatment for glaucoma.”

Zurich, Switzerland


Dr. Marc Toeteberg-Harms

“I have performed over a hundred MicroPulse TLTs, and have not experienced a single case of iritis or CME. MicroPulse TLT is safe, effective, and can be done in the office and OR in less than 5 minutes. For surgeons who may not feel comfortable adopting the newest MIGS devices but want something effective and safe to reduce IOP with the simplest learning curve, MicroPulse TLT is an outstanding option.”

Rajan Desai, MD, FACS
East Brunswick, NJ


Dr. Ahad Mahootchi

“Numerous published studies and clinical experience in the US, Europe and Asia over the last several years have demonstrated that it is a safe and effective option to decrease both IOP and the number of topical medications necessary in many glaucoma patients. I regularly treat a wide variety of glaucoma patients with it, and my patients are very happy with the results.”

Ahad Mahootchi, MD
