→ COMMERCIAL PRODUCT
• Micro-invasive technology which is safe and
implanted in a single-step procedure
• Entirely made of proprietary anti-fibrotic
STAR material
• Designed for significant and sustained IOP
reduction
• Targeting the supraciliary space - no bleb
formation
• Strong IP around material, device design
and implantation method
• Developed in close collaboration with world
leading KOLs – understanding real patient
needs

• Ergonomic shape
for optimal grip
and precision
Handle Shaft
• Pre-loaded with implant
• Wheel release
mechanism
• Delivery through a small
corneal incision of
2.0mm.
• Can be performed by
cataract and glaucoma
surgeons.
Targeting the supraciliary space - Avoiding bleb formation
• Positive one year data at WGC 2019
• Safety profile continues to look very
promising - ECD side effects not
expected due to material properties and
proper placement in anterior chamber
• Performance data supports utility and patient acceptance being excellent for the vast majority of mild to moderate glaucoma patients
