Orca Surgical’s Mission
To become an industry leader in providing safe technological solutions to enhance ophthalmic surgery results for the benefit of practitioners and patients.
The company’s flagship Epi Clear™ dynamic epikeratome device is ushering in a new paradigm for laser refractive surgery. Our paradigm is safer and less painful than existing microkeratome flap keratomileusis and advanced surface ablation procedures. The new EBK™ (Epi-Bowman’s Keratectomy) procedure leaves Bowman’s layer completely intact. The procedure is based on the company’s Epi Clear™ patented multi-blade polymer epikeratome.
Epi Clear™ allows surgeons to softly sweep across the epithelium to gently and precisely peel the epithelial surface. Simultaneously, the tip collects discarded epithelial cells into the tip for safe removal from the treatment bed. The result is a clean, smooth treatment bed for the Excimer laser to ablate and reshape the cornea for refractive correction.
The procedure generates ideal optical conditions for laser ablation with less painful healing, rapid visual recovery and reduced post-operative risks.
Orca Surgical is a privately owned company with headquarters in Israel and offices in the USA.
