In this latest episode of the Doc2Doc podcast, hosts Dr. Sara LeMay, Retina Associates of Kentucky, and Dr. Aparna Shah, Bennett & Bloom Eye Centers, welcome retina specialist Dr. Jeremy Wolfe, Associated Retinal Consultants, to discuss Susvimo, a port delivery system for administering highly concentrated ranibizumab.
Dr. Wolfe explains its design, which allows for slow, sustained drug delivery into the vitreous cavity via simple diffusion. He details the surgical procedure, highlighting its learning curve and support from surgical device specialists, as well as the post-operative follow-up and refill process, which patients in clinical trials strongly preferred over regular intravitreal injections.
Dr. Wolfe also addresses the 2022 voluntary recall due to septum dislocation issues. While the procedure differs from standard retina surgeries, Dr. Wolfe believes it is well within the capabilities of retina specialists, paving the way for broader adoption.
