Supra Médical has been specialised in the field of ophthalmology since 1989.

  Our activity
Creation of ophthalmic services and products

Our expertise and experience have enabled us and led us to cover various fields :
  • Creation of the first private refractive surgery centre
  • Worldwide staff training and surgical services
  • Manufacture of re-sterilisable instruments
  • Manufacture for major laboratories under their label
  • Liquid crystal polycarbonate research
  • Production of Viscoelastics
  • Distribution of ophthalmic medical devices
  • Pioneer in the manufacture of single-use micro-instruments for ophthalmology/composite and steel
 


Current leader in the manufacture of disposable steel instrumentation for use in cataract surgery, our instruments have been bundled by several international companies with various sterile packs.

The prime advantage of the disposable instruments found in the product lines and packs distributed by major laboratories have led to substantial advances in this type of instrumentation in the field of ophthalmology, specifically owing to the innovative nature of the products and the possibility of performing surgery using totally sterile equipment.

Subsequent to the spread and media coverage of Creutzfel Jacob disease and the risk of cross-infection directly linked with local sterilisation, it became inconceivable for patients and medical practitioners to imagine surgical operations performed with instruments already used on other patients just minutes before.

It was therefore necessary to meet the need for transparency by developing a device enabling the elimination of any risk of contamination during surgery.

Single-use instrumentation therefore became a must, not only as a solution to avoid the sterilisation-related risks of pathologies affecting the central nervous system, but also to comply with the new criteria and standards or recommendations decreed by many countries.

Today, in light of this revolution of surgical practices, Supra Médical, through its development of single-use instrument kits, has marked out its objective to enable medical centres, hospitals and clinics to guarantee their patients maximum safety by eliminating any risk of contamination conveyed by surgical instruments.

  Our development targets two major areas :
  • the immediate supply of high-quality disposable steel instruments to cover the needs of the current market;
  • anticipation of needs via the design and development of easily manufactured composite materials that can be produced in large volumes and that can be more easily recycled.
