Sanoculis
Sanoculis is developing and markets the MIMS (Minimally Invasive Micro Sclerostomy) device and technique for the treatment of the Glaucoma.
MIMS is simple, fast, and minimally invasive. During the procedure, a sclero-corneal drainage channel is created to reduce IOP. The novelty of the solution is that the channel ensures long-lasting controlled fluid flow with minor complications. MIMS consists of a disposable sterile tool and a multi-use external machine. Its expected benefits are: a stent-less procedure, low risk of complications, it is suitable for most Glaucoma patients, has the potential for medication reduction, can be easily combined with Cataract surgery and surgeon-friendly, automatic with short learning curve. MIMS is designed to reduce caring costs through procedure simplicity, low cost, fewer post-surgical complications and less hospitalization.
