Quantel Medical’s Photocoagulator Wins FDA Nod

The FDA has approved Quantel Medical’s photocoagulator for treatment of macular edema and peripheral retinal pathologies.

The Easyret device incorporates Quantel’s proprietary ELBA fiber laser technology for 577nm wavelength yellow lasers that the company introduced last year in Europe.

The device is also indicated for pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy and central serous chorioretinopathy.
