Subretinal Delivery
MedOne’s Subretinal products offer a wide selection of options to customize your delivery techniques. Our PolyTip® Cannulas with 38-gauge (0.12mm) diameter tips are available in 23, 25, and 27 gauge with either a 2mm or 5 mm tip length. These are also available in an extendable version for easier passage thru valved entry cannulas. New to our subretinal products is the PolyVent™ line that combine the above features with our popular DualBore SideFlō® cannulas, providing the additional feature of pressure release in the eye during the subretinal injection.
Additionally, our unique MicroTip Cannula features an even smaller gauge tip for precise delivery into this delicate space. All of these cannulas coupled with either the MicroDose™ Injection Kit or MicroDose™ SF Injection Kit, allow use of your pneumatic air source to deliver a surgeon-controlled, safer subretinal microinjection.
MedOne endeavors to remain at the forefront of subretinal injection delivery devices. Our engineers stand ready to work with you in evaluating your specific subretinal delivery needs and developing unique solutions, prototyping, and if viable, manufacturing and marketing these products. Give us a call to discuss your ideas.
MicroDose™ Injection Kit
MedOne offers surgeons two choices for pneumatically operated, full surgeon control of low-volume subretinal injections using the vitrectomy consoles of Alcon (Constellation® ), B+L (Stellaris® ) and DORC (EVA® ) systems. Our MicroDose™ and MicroDose™ SF easily adapt to the console’s viscous fluid injection set utilizing the 1mL syringe. Simply fill the syringe using a variety of methods, place a subretinal injection cannula on the secure Luer lock fitting of the MicroDose™ and the surgeon is ready to administer using the console foot pedal.
The new MicroDose™ SF Injection Kit offers several critical features not available on our original 3275 MicroDose™. These include a silicone-free syringe to eliminate the risk of silicone droplets being introduced into the eye and unique stopper designed to reduce dead-space to approximately 10 micro-liters. Additionally, the syringe comes with a detachable plunger rod which allows for manual filling of the syringe.
Subretinal PolyTip® Cannulas
The 38g PolyTip® Cannulas utilize an extremely thin-walled, semi-flexible tip which allows maximum flow rate in a small diameter cannula. They are rigid enough to penetrate the retina, eliminating the need to create a separate retinotomy. These products are ideal for subretinal injection. The luer lock hub allows a quick secure connection to our MicroDose™ Injection Kit, syringe, extension tube or infusion line. The 2mm green tip allows easy passage through valved entry cannulas and better visibility. The shorter tip is rigid enough to penetrate the retina, while the 5mm is more flexible.

Extendable PolyTip® Cannulas
The Extendable PolyTip® Cannulas feature a 38g tip that can be fully retracted for easy passage through a valved entry cannula, and then extended up to 5mm in length. Shorter tubing reduces loss of injection fluid. Priming volume is approximately 0.1mL.
PolyVent™ Cannulas
The 38g PolyVent™ cannulas utilize the same features as our popular Subretinal PolyTip® Cannulas, however they incorporate the additional patented features of our DualBore SideFlō® cannulas, providing egress vents that allow for pressure release in the eye during the injection. This should minimize pressure on the bleb being created in the subretinal space. Additionally, the green 5mm tip provides better visualization. All of our subretinal products are flow tested during manufacturing to ensure reliable performance.
