New World Medical

Develops ophthalmic surgical devices for vision.

Overview

New World Medical makes ophthalmic surgical devices, such as the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve and the Kahook Dual Blade, to help eye surgeons treat glaucoma and other eye conditions. The Ahmed Valve is implanted to drain fluid and lower eye pressure, while the Kahook Dual Blade is a surgical instrument used to remove tissue that blocks drainage routes, enabling better fluid flow. The company sets itself apart by working closely with surgeons to improve clinical outcomes and by donating surgical equipment to humanitarian and charitable causes in addition to its product development. Its goal is to preserve and enhance vision by delivering practical tools and technologies that benefit patients and communities.
