The pipeline includes the iStent SA Trabecular Micro-Bypass System, a two-stent product with a different auto-injection inserter for standalone procedures.
In June 2015, Glaukos successfully completed its initial public offering, and its shares are now publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The company continues to innovate and expand its product offerings, maintaining its position as a leader in the ophthalmic medical technology field.
