For patients who need more than MIGS, the path to bleb-free IOP control starts outside the angle.

The Middle Segment

When MIGS is no longer enough, what comes next?

As glaucoma progresses, finding the right surgical step for patients becomes increasingly challenging. 

Some patients reach a point where MIGS may no longer provide the level of control they need, yet moving directly to a bleb-forming procedure may feel disproportionate to where they are in their treatment journey.

For these patients, the challenge is not recognising that treatment needs to escalate, but identifying a meaningful next step that can deliver the required IOP reduction while preserving future treatment flexibility.

The significant step up

Meaningful efficacy through a standalone procedure

In the single-centre, prospective, non-randomised SAFARI 3 (SuprAciliary Filtration Alone Reduces IOP) trial, INTERCIL® demonstrated significant and sustained reductions in IOP and medication burden — all in a standalone procedure, independent of cataract surgery.

Think outside the angle

INTERCIL® takes a different route to IOP control

Many MIGS procedures focus on the drainage angle. INTERCIL® looks beyond it and to the eye’s natural uveoscleral outflow pathway.

But accessing this pathway has traditionally relied on creating a cyclodialysis cleft. INTERCIL® changes that. By creating controlled supraciliary spacing without cleft creation, it is designed to sustain uveoscleral outflow and deliver durable IOP reduction.

Implanted through a direct ab externo approach, INTERCIL® can be positioned precisely within the supraciliary space without entering the anterior chamber. The flexible nature of INTERCIL is designed to conform naturally within that space, providing a controlled and predictable foundation for outflow.

Precise device placement

Direct ab externo implantation into the supraciliary space supports precise device placement without anterior chamber entry.1

NATURAL OUTFLOW

Optimises the eye’s natural outflow mechanism without cleft creation.1

PREDICTABLE PERFORMANCE

Designed to deliver predictable performance in a traditionally unpredictable pathway.

Postoperative care, simplified

Powerful IOP control no longer has to mean creating a bleb

Bleb-forming procedures can require intensive postoperative monitoring and intervention to achieve optimal outcomes.

Because INTERCIL® does not create a subconjunctival bleb, its bleb-free approach is designed to streamline postoperative management compared with bleb-forming procedures.
