The Challenge

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

Angle-closure glaucoma is more aggressive than open-angle disease, carries a higher risk of blindness, and disproportionately affects Asian populations — yet has no long-term solution that is both safe and effective.

Introducing Flostream

A microstent for the closed angle

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 to address what existing solutions cannot

route

Alternative pathway

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

tune

Consistency

Designed for controlled intraocular pressure management with sustained outcomes.

group

Access

Targets an underserved patient population with limited minimally invasive options today.

Who We are Building For

Developing options for millions with limited access to minimally invasive treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma affects over 30 million people in Asia, causing irreversible blindness at twice the rate of open-angle glaucoma. Current devices were not designed for these patients.

Investor Signal

Critical preclinical milestones achieved — supportive safety and performance signals

Preparing for first-in-human evaluation in Singapore. Currently raising seed funding to advance toward clinical-stage development.
