What Is The XEN® Gel Stent?
A Small Device That Can Make a Big Difference.
The XEN® Gel Stent is a small tube that is surgically implanted into the eye and becomes soft and flexible. The implant is designed to lower high eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma patients where previous surgical treatment has failed and/or medications alone were insufficient.
How Does The XEN® Gel Stent Work?
The XEN® Gel Stent creates a small channel in the eye to drain fluid and help lower eye pressure. The XEN® Gel Stent is very small—about the length of an eyelash—and it is placed just under the conjunctiva, which is the clear membrane that covers the white of your eye.
