Glaukos Files Supplemental Pre-market Approval Application For IStent Infinite

(RTTNews) - Glaukos Corp. (GKOS) has submitted a supplemental pre-market approval application to the FDA for the iStent infinite Trabecular Micro-Bypass System. The iStent infinite is an investigational device designed for use in a standalone procedure to reduce elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by prior surgical or medical therapy.
