The Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen (UMCG) is seeking intraocular lenses from J&J (Tecnis) for use in tertiary ophthalmic care. The lenses are distinguished by a patented hydrophobic acrylic material, a one-piece design with unique offset haptics, a negative spherical aberration of -0.27 pm, and a high Abbe number, which corrects both corneal and chromatic aberrations. The lens is semi-preloaded in the SmartLOAD system, allowing a small 2.4 mm incision to be sufficient for all powers and reducing the risk of infection. UMCG bases this choice on Article 2.32, paragraph 1, opening words and sub b 2° of the Aanbestedingswet 2012 and provides the market 20 days to lodge an objection.

The Tecnis intraocular lens has a unique combination of properties that makes this lens highly suitable for use in tertiary ophthalmic care within the UMCG. This is evidenced by: 1. The J&J lenses remain well in place intra- and postoperatively due to: a. The Tecnis lenses have specific (patented) hydrophobic acrylate material (the material is soft enough to be foldable, allowing the entire range of lens powers to be placed through one incision, yet hard enough to be shape-stable immediately after placement in the eye). b. The design of the Tecnis lens, a one-piece intraocular lens and the de

06Frequently asked questions

Why was the Tecnis intraocular lenses from J&J chosen?
The Tecnis lenses feature a unique combination of properties for tertiary ophthalmic care, including a patented hydrophobic acrylate material with the highest Abbe number and a negative spherical aberration of -0.27 pm to correct aberrations.
What technical advantages does the SmartLOAD system offer?
The SmartLOAD system utilizes a semi-preloaded lens in a cartridge, allowing the entire range of lens powers to be placed via a small 2.4 mm incision. This increases safety and reduces the risk of infection and waste.
How is the stability of the lens in the eye ensured?
Stability is promoted by the hydrophobic acrylate material which is shape-stable after placement, the one-piece design, and the unique offset of the haptics, which directs the optics of the lens backwards.
How can stakeholders object to this procedural choice?
Stakeholders can lodge a reasoned objection against the proposed procedure within 20 calendar days after publication via the email address provided in the contact details.
On what legal basis is the choice for this specific supplier based?
The UMCG invokes Article 2.32, paragraph 1, opening words and sub b 2° of the Aanbestedingswet 2012, as there is no other firm that can supply lenses with these specific optical properties and the relevant hydrophobic acrylate material.
