Manufacturer Directory · Glaucoma
Glaucoma Surgical Devices MIGS, implants and the companies behind them.
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices are often placed during cataract surgery, so co-managing practices see them on operative notes and in follow-up. This directory groups the devices by where they work and who makes them.
Quick answer
Group devices by outflow pathway.
Trabecular bypass devices, Schlemm canal devices and subconjunctival stents each change aqueous outflow differently. Drug-eluting implants add a sustained-release option. Knowing the category tells you what to watch for after surgery.
Key takeaways
- Trabecular bypass: iStent family (Glaukos).
- Schlemm canal: Hydrus Microstent (Alcon), OMNI, Trab360 and Visco360 (Sight Sciences).
- Goniotomy blade: Kahook Dual Blade (New World Medical).
- Subconjunctival: XEN gel stent.
- Drug implant: iDose TR travoprost implant (Glaukos), FDA approved December 2023.
