Bausch + Lomb has received FDA marketing clearance for Vitesse, a hypersonic device for vitreous removal that uses a single-needle design.

The device will be available on the company's Stellaris Elite vision enhancement system.

Bausch + Lomb plans to launch Stellaris Elite for retina applications this summer, which will integrate retina and cataract capabilities into a single machine. — Cynthia Jessup
