Mitron Medical launches new fluorescein strips

BIB Group has moved to address the supply of fluorescein strips to the optical profession with the launch of two products.

The new products, I-Dew Flo Fluorecscein Strips and I-Dew Tearstrips Shirmer Strips, were launched earlier in the month by BIB unit Mitron Medical, which is now accepting orders.

Tim Baker, BIB Group Holdings CEO, said: ‘After the announcement from B+L last year that they were to stop supply of their branded Fluorets sodium fluorescein strips, we have been attempting to source alternative quality fluorecscein strips.’

He said new production facilities for the products, through a new manufacturing partner, were fully automated with ‘no human touch’ during the process.
