About this product

Targeted Expression from the Gland Base
The iExpressor Forceps are engineered with a specialized tapered design that enables clinicians to access the base of the meibomian glands for more effective expression. The elongated, wider paddles provide secure contact with the eyelid, minimizing slippage and reducing patient discomfort during the procedure. By reaching deeper and expressing multiple glands at once, the iExpressor ensures a more thorough release of meibum, supporting improved tear film stability and greater dry eye symptom relief.
Enhance Outcomes with Pre-Treatment Warm Compress
For best clinical outcomes, we recommend pairing the iExpressor Forceps with our iFlo USB heating eye masks. Applying a warm compress prior to the procedure helps to soften and liquefy the meibum, making subsequent meibomian gland expression smoother, more efficient, and more comfortable for the patient. This simple preparatory step not only enhances treatment effectiveness but also improves overall patient experience during expression surgery.
