Gold Shunt - GMS PLUS+

Gold Shunt Overview
The Gold Shunt, GMS PLUS+, is a novel, minimally invasive device that has the potential to advance the surgical treatment of glaucoma. Developed in collaboration with experienced engineers and leading glaucoma surgeons, the device is the first biocompatible, pure gold implant that uses the eye's natural pressure differential to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). Differentiated from other surgical glaucoma options, the results are achieved without creating a bleb, a common source of serious medical complications.

The Gold Shunt is an investigational device currently being studied in a multi-center clinical trial and is not available for use in the United States. The device is currently approved for use in Canada as well as in select countries in Europe.

Key features of the Gold Shunt device include:
Safety: No bleb-related complications, highly biocompatible material
Efficacy: Novel mechanism of action, advanced engineering to optimize performance
Reproducible: Industrialized surgical procedure, familiar technique

Procedure
I-MED Surgical and SOLX have collaborated with leading glaucoma surgeons to develop a precise, familiar surgical technique. The end result is an industrialized and highly reproducible procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting.
