ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Bausch & Lomb has launched www.tsv25.com , a Web site for surgeons and technicians featuring new enhancements to the Millennium TSV25 System, along with 25-gauge techniques and information.

"Bausch & Lomb invented the 25-gauge vitreoretinal technology and our latest innovations, showcased on this new Web site, demonstrate Bausch & Lomb's commitment to medical excellence and knowledge sharing," said John Saharek, Bausch & Lomb director of marketing for vitreoretinal products.

At tsv25.com, surgeons and technicians will find information about Bausch & Lomb's:

  • New entry-site alignment (ESA) system that streamlines insertion of 25-gauge cannulas;

"These technology innovations are the result of collaboration with leading vitreoretinal surgeons," said Saharek.  "Bausch & Lomb not only designs products for doctors to use, we seek their opinions and design with them, so that systems like the Millennium TSV25 best meet their needs and continue to be world class."
