Device Purpose

• Used on the eyelids for the treatment of dry eye symptoms

Device Features

• Hand piece designed for use with existing, on the market, RF generator

• Designed for ultra-fast temperature response – important for safety when treating on eyelid

• Final design currently on the market

My key contributions

• Full mechanical design (from prototype to manufacturing) of hand piece i

  • Industrial design 

  • Plastic part design

  • Low mass stainless tip and temperature sensor topology

  • Low noise thermistor flex PCB design

  • Spring plunger design for RF contact safety

• Translation of ophthalmologist feedback on other devices to create an optimal design for this treatment

• Integrating existing control PCB to reduce time to market
