LipiFlow®

LipiFlow®

The LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System consists of a Console and a single-use sterile device, known as the Activator, and has a drug-free mechanism of action. Eye care professionals use the LipiFlow System to treat MGD patients in-office with confidence and efficiency.

The Lipiflow System represents more than 10 years of dedicated research and is protected by more than 30 patents. A phased pressure profile with adaptive force equalization and proximal-to-distal peristaltic motion evacuates gland contents as the inner lid is gently heated.

HOW THE LIPIFLOW SYSTEM WORKS

  • The procedure centers around the breakthrough Vector Thermal Pulse Technology™ (VTP)
  • After an initial anesthetic drop, no drugs are required for the procedure
    The LipiFlow system safely delivers therapeutic energies to the meibomian glands while protecting the delicate structures of the patient’s eye
  • As a result, the obstructed meibum is liquefied and pushed up and out of the gland orifices
  • Contoured design vaults the cornea and protects the eye
  • Heat and pressure are regulated with redundant sensors
