Melendez, MD, MBA, and Andrew Doan, MD, PhD, and produced by the academy's committee on educa- tion, the portal offers academy members news, peer-reviewed educa- tional content and the ability to connect with industry peers. • MicroSurgical Technology , the company that brought the Malyugin Ring pupil expander to the market, is making the device easier to insert and remove. The Osher Modification to the Malyugin Ring Injector makes release during placement and re-engagement during retrieval one-step processes. The modification brings no change to the price of the Malyugin Ring, however, which remains at $125. The company also introduced at ASCRS the first single-use Packer/Chang IOL cutter, which lists for $99 each for the handle and head. • Two manufacturers have introduced alternatives to the Malyugin Ring. Diamatrix's Xpand Iris Speculum has been designed with 8-point fixa- tion for a more circular, 8mm pupil opening, allowing greater access to the posterior chamber. The Oasis Iris Expander, available in 6.25mm or 7mm sizes, features 4 pockets that cradle the iris tissue. It is packaged sterile, with Oasis's specially designed inserter. • Haag-Streit Surgical's new Hi-R NEO 900 microscope for ophthalmic surgery features a 25mm stereo base for increased depth perception and the C.RED 900 Red Reflex Enhancer for consistent, stable and bright illumination of anterior chamber details during capsulorhexis OSE_1407_part2_Layout 1 7/3/14 8:49 AM Page 78
