The Challenge

More aggressive. Higher blindness rate. No minimally invasive microstent option.

Angle-closure glaucoma will affect over 36 million people in Asia by 2040, causing irreversible blindness at three times the rate of open-angle glaucoma. Current devices were not designed for these patients.

Introducing Flostream

Designed for angle closure

Flostream is a microstent that creates an alternative outflow pathway, bypassing the trabecular meshwork and closed angle entirely. It is placed with a single-use deployment system designed for accurate, repeatable delivery.

Why It Matters

Designed for the Asian anatomy

route

Alternative pathway

Creates access to drainage independent of closed angle, bypassing the obstruction entirely.

Delivery system

A purpose-built, single-use deployer engineered for consistent, tactile-feedback-guided implant placement.

Access

Built to reach a space in the eye inaccessible to existing devices.

Investor Signal

Critical preclinical milestones achieved — supportive safety and performance signals

Bench testing, biocompatibility studies, and design verification completed with supportive safety and performance data. Preparing for first-in-human evaluation in Singapore.

Currently raising seed funding to advance toward clinical-stage development.
