InflammaDry®

Product Features
InflammaDry® is the first and only, rapid, in-office test that detects MMP-9, an inflammatory marker that is consistently elevated in the tears of patients with dry eye disease.1 Other dry eye tests only measure tear production and stability. InflammaDry accurately identifies patients with dry eye allowing for optimal treatment methods and better quality of life.
Using direct sampling microfiltration technology, InflammaDry® accurately identifies elevated levels of MMP-9 protein in tear fluid samples taken from the inside lining of the lower eyelid, the palpebral conjunctiva.
