Cantor Barnard Limited

Cantor Barnard Limited specialises in rigid gas permeable contact lenses, which are designed for extended wear to correct vision or manage ocular conditions. They also produce rigid contact lens diagnostic fitting sets, intended for use by eye care professionals to assess fit and suitability before prescribing permanent lenses.

The company is headquartered in the United Kingdom, specifically in Great Britain (GB). This location determines its regulatory obligations under UK and EU medical device frameworks.

Cantor Barnard Limited’s devices are registered in the eudamed database, the official EU portal for medical device information. This registration ensures transparency and compliance with EU medical device regulations, though it does not imply device authorisation.

Cantor Barnard Limited’s products fall under Class I and Class IIa classifications in the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Class I devices are generally low-risk, such as some contact lenses, while Class IIa devices involve a higher level of risk mitigation, like diagnostic fitting sets, requiring additional conformity assessment steps.

The company’s rigid gas permeable contact lenses are designed for extended wear, meaning they are intended to be worn continuously for a specified period (e.g., overnight or multiple days) rather than single-use. Diagnostic fitting sets, however, are typically used once per patient before prescribing permanent lenses.
