March 02, 2017 – Worthing, United Kingdom. Rayner announced today that a selection of models in their Sulcoflex range of pseudophakic supplementary IOLs have received Chinese Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) approval and are to be launched in market in 2017.

Product approval details
The CFDA granted regulatory approval and sale of the following Sulcoflex IOLs:
The IOLs are available through Beijing Cambridge, Rayner’s exclusive IOL distributor in China since 2002.
Rayner Sulcoflex Pseudophakic Supplementary IOLs are designed to be implanted in the ciliary sulcus to correct residual post-operative refractive errors following the implantation of a conventional IOL in the capsular bag.
Rayner Commercial Director Cary Dawes said: “After a four year registration application – the longest in the history of Rayner – the CFDA has confirmed its approval of this selection of Sulcoflex IOLs. This innovation has been successfully implanted for ten years and we are excited about launching it in a market as important as China. China is Rayner’s number one distributor market in terms of size and growth, so to add the Sulcoflex platform to our offering will open up even more growth opportunities.”
In addition to the Sulcoflex range of pseudophakic supplementary IOLs, Rayner also offers a primary IOL portfolio which consists of monofocal, toric, multifocal and multifocal-toric IOLs.
