A potential treatment adressing a large unmet need
What is DED?
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is an inflammatory disease with symptoms of irritation, redness, discharge, and easily fatigued eyes. The symptoms range from mild and occasional to severe and continuous. Eye dryness is also one of the leading causes of discontinuation of contact lens use.
“More than 30 million people in the United States have DED, which may be the single greatest opportunity in medical eye care.”

A treatment based on the INMEST Technology
Intra-Nasal MEchanical STimulation (or INMEST for short) is a novel treatment approach pioneered by prof Jan-Erik Juto during his career as a Medical Doctor and Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) Surgeon at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. INMEST is delivered using a soft and pliable catheter that is inserted into the nasal cavity where it gently stimulates the deeply innervated tissues that line part of the cavity.
INMEST technology is being investigated in clinical trials.
Abilion’s medical device is protected by granted patents and pending patents.
