SBM Sistemi Dry Eye Treatment Activa

A natural way to significantly improve tear stability is to increase the production of the Meibomian glands, allowing your eyes to remain lubricated and symptom-free for longer, just as nature intended. A clinically proven mechanical method for unblocking and stimulating the Meibomian glands involves applying heat at a very specific temperature and massaging the melted oil to extract it from the glands. This procedure unblocks the glands and stimulates the natural production of oils to keep your eyes lubricated. Patients generally notice a remarkable improvement in comfort and a significant reduction in their dry eye symptoms within the first month of use. It is effective in Meibomian gland dysfunction associated with tear film evaporation.

OPHTHALMOLOGISTS

Ophthalmologist physicians can use any type of medical device for the treatment of Dry Eye, such as Lipiflow, IPL, or QMR. All of them are very costly for both the patient and the physician. Activa is the unique, safe, and effective treatment available at a fraction of the cost of other Dry Eye medical devices. After each use, the mask can be easily sanitized and requires no gel during treatment, unlike many other devices.

CLASS II – HOME USE DEVICE

Activa is the first medical device for dry eye designed for both clinical and home use. It is clinically proven to improve tear film quality and patient comfort! The physician can customize the number of sessions available for the patient’s rental period according to a limited quantity in accordance with the prescribed therapy.

ARE YOU USING AN IPL IN YOUR CLINIC?

As you may know, patients treated with IPL do not perceive the effect of the treatment from the first application, and the expression and compression of the Meibomian glands is an important practice combined with IPL therapy. Including Activa in your treatment plan for Evaporative Dry Eye, combined with the effects of IPL, will resolve the aforementioned issues through mechanical heating and massage of the patient’s eyelids. This will allow the meibum to be expressed from the glands, increasing the efficiency of the IPL effects and providing the patient with an immediate sense of relief and improvement of the condition.

DON’T HAVE AN IPL IN YOUR PRACTICE?

Activa is a registered medical device, ideal for the effective treatment of Evaporative Dry Eye disease, and is offered at one of the lowest prices compared to other medical devices available for dry eye therapy. This makes it the perfect device to start treating your patients.

Controlled by a touch screen, easy to use and operate.
Through a fully automated procedure, the device is capable of melting the meibum within the glands at 42 °C and simultaneously expressing them, thereby releasing the melted oil and enabling a remarkable improvement in the quality of the lipid layer.
The complete procedure takes only 15 minutes and can be performed in any medical or optometric office.

HOW IT WORKS

This innovative Eye-mask offers complete automatic heating and compression technology in a single device, quickly and painlessly. Effective in Meibomian gland dysfunction associated with tear film evaporation.
▪ Unblock the glands
▪ Melt the meibum
▪ Restore the natural flow of meibum
▪ Better management of the pathology
▪ Increase gland functionality

INTERNATIONAL DRY EYE GUIDELINES (DEWS II REPORT)

The international dry eye guidelines (DEWS II Report) state that, in order to achieve a good impact on the glands, heating must be performed at a minimum temperature of 40 °C. Other devices, such as LipiFlow by J&J, apply this concept for the treatment of Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). However, the study demonstrates the importance that compression of the Meibomian glands after heating may have, noting that this stage is essential for expelling the liquefied meibum.

The Activa device provides heating of the Meibomian glands (MG) to 42 °C. After a few minutes, it initiates massage through pads designed to exert pressure on the eyelids while avoiding compression of the corneal area, and expresses the glands through gentle vibrations.
