For the first time Meibomian Gland Dysfunction can be successfully treated
Jett Plasma Vet for Meimobian Gland Disfunction
Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, King Charles Cavaliers , Pugs with eye disease have an answer finally for corrective treatment for dry eye from gland dysfunction. This gland is right on the inside of the eye lids

Jett Plasma Veterinary Treatments
The precision and stability of Jett Plasma opens new treatments to common eye and skin diseases in veterinary medicine. Safer, less tissue damage and shorter healing times compared to CO2 laser.
Process of electroporation for eye treatment
Precise Plasma Arc less tissue damage and faster healing
The operating principle of Jett Plasma, unlike lasers or radiofrequency, is not based on heating the tissues with the principle of destroying in order to regenerate. The principle of Jett is to use a direct current with voltage and current values capable of triggering, at a given threshold, reversible electroporation on the cellular membranes of the tissues in contact with the applicator.
Electroporation is what makes Jett Plasma Better!

Jett Plasma Vet New Treatment Options
Treating Distichiasis leaving the Glands intact!
Choose Ophthalmology on the device
The Steel tip is inserted as parallel as possible with the ectopic cilia follicle. Only press the pedal when the steel tip is already inside the ectopic cilia follicle and not before and then give the discharge approximately 7 seconds of plasma application.
After doing the procedure you have to remove the ectopic cilia with tweezers, and it must come out very gently.
If the procedure is done correctly the cilia could be removed easily if not, then you can repeat the process one more time.
Treating Ectropion
PROCEDURE: Always choosing Dermatology in the Device
The procedure is done with the Golden Applicator (ablative procedure). Intensity used is 3 or 4 on the tarsal conjunctiva and on the skin 4 or 5.
Must shave the area to be treated in Entropion or Ectropion, it is mandatory.
Local anesthesia with 2% lidocaine.
Ectropion: A dot by dot, triangle with the base of the triangle from the eye lid margin on both sides (on the skin where the ectropion occurs and on the tarsal conjunctiva)
Using the golden tip always without touching from 4mm distance. Each dot with a discharge during 3 sec and space between each dot of 2mm.
Using energy 4 or 5 is enough with dot by dot. But if the position changes again then dot by dot and scanning method could be done. But we suggest better step by step or we can cause hypercorrection which is difficult to correct.
We can treat hipocorrection, we have time to correct it but if we cause hypercorrection, it is difficult to correct.
Entropion: A dot by dot, triangle with the base of the triangle from the eye lid margin only on one side (on the skin where the entropion occurs)
Punctual Obstruction and Imperforate Lacrimal Punctum With Jett Plasma Veterinary!
Settings choose Ophthalmology
The procedure is done with the thin Steel Applicator (ablative procedure).
Mostly the patients are sedated. Need to connect with the electrode the patient. Must be done
in the area where there is no hair for ej on the stomach.
Both orifices can be treated upper and lower.
If the orifice is open, introduce the steel applicator inside of it and discharge with intensity between 5 to 7 for 2=3 seconds and immediately there is mucopurulent discharge.
If you see the orifice surface is closed, you need to localize and discharge on the membrane without contact. Once open proceed with the above procedure. Lacrimal punctum dilator can also be used to open the orifice.
After the procedure inject sterile saline solution from the lacrimal punctum to verify that the orifice is open.

How Jett Plasma Vet Works
Jett Plasma vs CO2 Laser
Jett Plasma Vet MGD produces increases in both qualitative quantitative tear film
- Jett Plasma Vet MGD increases both qualitative and quantitative tear film values, reduced inflammation and redness before the client picks them up from your practice.
Less tissue damage means shorter healing times and less discomfort
Ophthalmology and Dermatology for pets where minimizing tissue damage leads to quicker healing and less discomfort:
Corneal Ulcers in Pets:
Definition: A corneal ulcer involves a loss of tissue in the transparent covering (cornea) of the eye.
Causes: These ulcers can result from trauma (such as bumps or scratches), foreign bodies, or abnormal eyelashes (distichia or ectopic cilia).
Risk Factors: Breeds with short faces and prominent eyes (like pugs, bulldogs, and Boston terriers) are at greater risk due to increased corneal exposure and decreased sensitivity.
Treatment:
Superficial Ulcers: These involve loss of tissue in the outermost layer (epithelium) of the cornea. They are treated with topical antibiotics, artificial tears, oral analgesics, and sometimes atropine. Large superficial ulcers typically heal in five to seven days with minimal scarring.
Indolent Ulcers: Some superficial ulcers (called indolent ulcers) do not heal within a week. These chronic ulcers may take months to heal. The cause is not fully understood, but abnormal layers in the corneal stroma may prevent normal adhesion of the epithelium.
Healing Process:
Surrounding epithelial cells spread out to cover the ulcer bed.
The adhered epithelial sheet replicates to form a new, strong epithelial layer.
Conformational Eyelid Abnormalities
Conformational eyelid abnormalities in pets can lead to various eye conditions. Let’s explore some examples:
- Entropion: This condition involves an inversion of all or part of the eyelid margins, which may affect one or both eyelids and the canthi. It is a common bilateral conformational abnormality in several dog breeds, including the Bloodhound, Bullmastiff, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Saint Bernard, and various Spaniel breeds. Entropion can cause discomfort, conjunctival and corneal irritation, and, if left untreated, corneal scarring, pigmentation, and ulcers. Surgical correction is often necessary, especially in established cases1.
- Ectropion: Ectropion is the opposite of entropion—it involves an outward rolling of the eyelid margins. It can occur unilaterally due to contracture from scarring or facial nerve paralysis. Some breeds prone to ectropion include the Bloodhound, Clumber Spaniel, English Cocker Spaniel, Golden Retriever, Mastiff, Saint Bernard, and Shar Pei2.
Remember that these conditions can cause discomfort, affect vision, and potentially lead to more serious complications. If you suspect any eyelid abnormalities in your pet, consult a veterinarian promptly for proper evaluation and management.
