Problem
Ocular surface diseases and injuries often require immediate intervention to prevent complications and promote effective healing. Traditional treatments may not always be readily available or easily accessible, leading to delays in care and potentially impacting patient outcomes.
Solution
NuVision develops and manufactures Omnigen, a wound dressing and grafting material derived from amniotic membrane, designed to address ocular surface diseases. The company's proprietary Tereo process preserves the natural barrier function of the amniotic membrane, supporting natural healing and recovery. Omnigen is available as a dry preparation that can be easily shipped and stored, ensuring it is readily accessible for immediate use. The company also offers OmniLenz, a bandage contact lens that enables sutureless application of Omnigen to the ocular surface. This combination provides clinicians with a convenient and effective solution for managing various ocular surface conditions in an outpatient setting.
Target Audience
NuVision's primary customers are ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals who require effective and readily available solutions for treating ocular surface diseases and injuries.
