Summary:
A Russian company from the Nizhny Novgorod region produces soft intraocular lenses and artificial eye irises and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.
Description:
Having been established in 2015, the Russian company from Nizhny Novgorod was initially engaged in the study of the human eye and R&D of eye optics. The company now specializes in manufacturing eye lenses and artificial eye irises.
The company offers several types of products:
1) the hydrophobic soft intraocular lenses that do not cause secondary cataracts (studies have been conducted by Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution);
2) torsion lens - a lens with volume replacing the design by the expense of crystalline lens stretching in the front-back direction, the field of the eye equator provides three-dimensional stabilization of the eye camera;
3) artificial eye irises - the only soft artificial iris made of hydrophobic acryl, the monolithic structure of the hydrophobic material resists biodegradation and destruction. Cosmetic effect in the postoperative period is achieved through individual colour selection.
The iris (an artificial eye) block is made of a monolithic discoid shape of an elastic material based on methacrylic oligomers. The lens contains optical and haptic parts. The haptic part is made in the form of a coloured ring with an inner diameter of 3.5 mm and an outer diameter of 10.0 mm, with arcuate elements located on the periphery with apexes within a circle with a diameter of 13.0 mm. The iris block is actually the only product that has all the necessary characteristics for a full-fledged operation: maximum cosmetic effect, no trauma to the eye, the ability to integrate an intraocular lens. The product is made on the basis of innovative frontal polymerization technology.
The company has the necessary production facilities to meet the demand of any type of customers (hospitals, ophthalmology clinics etc). Therefore, the company is looking for international partners, especially large distributors operating in the above-stated sectors, to sign distribution services agreement and establish long-term cooperation. Within the framework of the distribution services agreement, the company will regularly supply its products to the foreign partner in terms and for the fee stipulated for further distribution.
