The device, developed by Yariv Bar-On of Israel, allows surgeons to remove the epithelium without damaging Bowmans layer. A pilot study showed that patients who underwent Epi-Bowman keratectomy had less pain and faster epithelial recovery compared to those who underwent laser scrape. The technique also provided superior clinical outcomes comparable to LASIK. The article does not mention any specific customers, investors, or acquisition/valuation amounts.

To listen and learn - Orca Surgical credits surgeons who share insights with the company
Orca Surgical, an ophthalmic surgery company based in Caesarea, Israel, is addressing unmet needs in ophthalmic surgery with their first commercially available product, the Epi Clear epikeratome. The device, along with the Epi-Bowmans Keratectomy (EBK™) procedure, aims to standardize epithelium removal in order to improve refractive outcomes. The EBK™ procedure removes the corneal epithelium layer-by-layer, leaving Bowmans layer undamaged and creating an ideal bed for refractive surface ablation. The Epi Clear device is designed to minimize trauma to the cornea and is made of a biocompatible material. EBK™ is gaining popularity in Poland and other countries, and Orca Surgical credits the surgeons who share their insights for the success of their products. The article also mentions a pilot study that shows the advantages of EBK™ in quicker recovery and less discomfort compared to standard methods.
