Nictavi

Nictavi is a private ophthalmic medical device company focused on corneal care and eyelid-closure therapies. Its lead and apparently sole commercial product is the patented Tarsus Eyelid Patch, an FDA-listed eyelid closure device designed to help protect the ocular surface, retain moisture, and support healing in patients with conditions such as lagophthalmos, exposure-related corneal damage, and corneal epithelial defects. The company positions the patch for use across ophthalmology, optometry, pediatric eye care, surgical recovery, and hospital/ICU settings. Nictavi appears to operate as a niche medtech manufacturer and wholesaler rather than a drug-development biotech company. The business was founded by Nathan Horner based on a personal corneal disease journey and has received recognition and grant support from pediatric medtech innovation programs.
