TrueTear Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator

Allergan

TrueTear is a handheld intranasal tear neurostimulator with disposable tips that is inserted into the nasal cavity and uses micro-electric pulses not powerful enough to cause discomfort to induce the production of tears. Stimulation of cranial nerve VII, which innervates the lacrimal glands, temporarily increases tear production.
