NCT04455399

Brief Summary

Prospective, single-center, randomized, clinical trial (RCT) comparing the time efficiency and safety of a single-use intravitreal injection (IVI) guide versus a traditional technique using a dual blade speculum among patients undergoing IVI for various indications.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duration of intravitreal injection procedure

    Duration in seconds from application to removal of single-blade or dual blade speculum

    At time of injection procedure

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Adverse event rate

    Immediately and up to 1 month after the intravitreal injection procedure

  • Patient preference for IVI technique

    Immediately post injection using single-blade speculum

Study Arms (2)

Intravitreal injection guide

OTHER

Single use, combination ocular surface caliper to determine point of intravitreal injection and set-depth injection guide to limit injection needle entry into the eye

Device: Intravitreal injection guide (Malosa)

Dual blade eyelid speculum

OTHER

Dual blade eyelid speculum to open eyelids followed by Castroviejo surgical caliper to measure injection point 3.5 mm from limbus

Device: Dual Blade Eyelid Speculum

Interventions

A single use, multifunction device will be used to push away an eyelid to expose injection site, indicate injection point about 4 millimeters from surgical limbus, and directs needle perpendicular to the ocular surface while limiting intraocular needle incursion

Also known as: Malosa intravitreal injection guide
Intravitreal injection guide

A conventional dual blade eyelid speculum will be use to push away eyelids. A Castroviejo surgical caliper will be used to mark the injection site.
