Benefits
The location of the ciliary body varies among quadrants of the eye, as well as between patients with glaucoma.1 As such, ciliary body transillumination may provide optimal probe placement and enhanced therapeutic treatment outcomes.
The G-Probe Illuminate will combine illumination and laser fiber into a single probe offering transillumination capability in a single-handed procedure, without the need for an assistant, and freeing up the other hand for patient control and/or to operate additional devices.
- Targeted Cyclophotocoagulation
- Optimized probe placement and therapeutic outcome with built-in transillumination
- Single-Handed procedure

Glaucoma Therapy Device Options
The patented MicroPulse P3™ Glaucoma Device, G-Probe™ Device and G-Probe Illuminate™ are used to deliver laser energy for the treatment of glaucoma.
What is the treatment technique for the MicroPulse P3 (MP3) Probe?
1. What is MicroPulse® Technology?
MicroPulse technology is a tissue-sparing solution where a continuous-wave laser beam is chopped into a train of tiny, repetitive, low energy pulses separated by a brief rest period which allows tissue to cool between laser pulses.
2. What is the treatment technique for the MicroPulse P3 Glaucoma Device?
