Capsule Support Segment (CANABRAVA Gupta Segment)

Canabrava Gupta Segment (Capsule Support Segment) is a partial ring of clear PMMA covering approximately one quadrant with a specially designed scleral fixation arm for permanent fixation.

Advantages:

• Blunt-tipped eyelets to aid in the insertion of the ring.
• Additional eyelet to suture the ring to scleral tissue for better stability of the capsular bag.
• Special angle of the scleral fixation arm avoids tilting during the surgery
• The eyelet is projecting anteriorly which allows it to sit outside the capsular bag.
• Due to the small size of the segment it is easier to insert inside the bag.

Indications:

• Cases with extreme zonular weakness.
• Cases with missing zonules larger than 4 clock hours.
• Lens subluxation.
