LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System
Johnson & JohnsonSensor-controlled delivery of heat and pressure to liquify and evacuate meibomian gland contents
At-a-Glance
- Computer-controlled, simultaneous application of heat and pressure
- After an initial anesthetic drop, no drugs are required for the procedure
- The LipiFlow System safely delivers therapeutic energies to the meibomian glands where obstructed meibum is liquefied and pushed up and out of the gland orifices
- Insulated, contoured design of the Activator vaults the cornea to protects the delicate structures of the eye
- Heat and pressure are regulated with redundant sensors
Revenue Potential with LipiFlow and LipiScan

The LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System is a device for in-office treatment of dry eye disease (DED) associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). It consists of a console, reusable cable and a single-use sterile device known as the Activator II. The Activator cradles the upper and lower eyelid as therapeutic heat and proximal-to-distal peristaltic pressure is applied to the meibomian glands.
LipiFlow mechanism of action
The Science Behind LipiFlow
The sophistication of the devices centers around the Vector Thermal Pulse Technology (VTP) which analyzes feedback from sensors on the Activator to maintain consistent heat application and a phased pressure profile with adaptive force equalization.
-
Vectored
The vaulted interior shield of the Activator protects the cornea while multi-point sensors monitor and regulate heat and pressure throughout the treatment. A maximum therapeutic temperature of 43 degrees Celsius is applied directly to the inner eyelid where the glands are located, while protecting the eyelid or delicate structures of the globe.
-
Thermal
Proprietary heating technology ensures precise temperature regulation with continuous feedback and consistent heat application to the meibomian glands. The insulated and vaulted design of the Activator protects the cornea from unsafe temperatures.
-
Pulse
Intelligent pressure feedback loop sends pulsed sequences to expel blockages and stagnant material from the gland. The custom pressure sequence maximizes gland clearing while device design protects the eye from unnecessary intraocular pressure.
The Lipiflow Activiator II
Inflation Technology
Pressure Sensors in the console ensure the application of safe levels of pressure.
Lid warmer
Multiple redundant sensors within the lid warmer protect against unsafe temperatures.
Vaulted Cornea Shield
Insulation protects the cornea from exceeding a safe 39.5 degrees Celsius, while an intelligent pressure feedback loop sends pulsed sequences to expel blockages and stagnant material from the gland. The vaulted design protects the delicate structures of the eye from both heat and pressure.

From Your Peers
I offer BlephEx and LipiFlow treatments, usually together, especially to patients with OSD who are considering premium cataract surgery or LVC."
I think it is a package treatment today: meibomian probing if the glands are totally blocked, meibomian expression, LipiFlow, and IPL. The combination works."
For patients with more advanced disease, we may stack any single or combination of the following options: cyclosporine (Restasis; Allergan), lifitegrast (Xiidra; Shire), LipiFlow (Johnson & Johnson Vision), or a short course of loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic gel (Lotemax; Bausch + Lomb)."
User Ratings + Reviews
LipiFlow targets the Meibomian glands. I appreciate the years of science, engineering and proven results that corroborate the effectiveness of LipiFlow in improving patient's signs and symptoms of MGD.
