20120123315 | INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to different types of intraocular shunts. | 05-17-2012 |
20120123316 | INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS FOR PLACEMENT IN THE INTRA-TENON'S SPACE - The present invention generally relates to intraocular shunts, and in particular, to intraocular shunts configured to form a drainage pathway between the anterior chamber and the intra-Tenon's space. | 05-17-2012 |
20120165720 | INTRAOCULAR SHUNTS - The present invention generally relates to different types of intraocular shunts. | 06-28-2012 |
20120165722 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR IMPLANTING A SHUNT IN THE SUPRACHOROIDAL SPACE - The invention generally relates to devices and methods for implanting a shunt in the suprachoroidal space of an eye. In certain aspects, devices of the invention include a housing, a deployment mechanism at least partially disposed within the housing, and a flexible hollow shaft coupled to the deployment mechanism, in which the shaft holds an intraocular shunt, and is configured to self-guide the shunt along a scleral spur of an eye as the shunt is deployed from the shaft. Such a device may be inserted into an eye and used to deploy a shunt within the eye such that a proximal portion of the shunt receives fluid from an anterior chamber of an eye and a distal portion of the shunt directs the fluid to the suprachoroidal space. | 06-28-2012 |
20120165723 | METHODS FOR IMPLANTING A SOFT GEL SHUNT IN THE SUPRACHOROIDAL SPACE - The invention generally relates to methods for implanting a soft gel shunt in the suprachoroidal space. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve inserting into the eye a hollow shaft configured to hold a soft gel intraocular shunt, deploying the soft gel shunt from the hollow shaft such that the shunt forms a passage from the anterior chamber of the eye to the suprachoroidal space of the eye, and withdrawing the hollow shaft from the eye. | 06-28-2012 |
20120197175 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS FOR RELIEVING PRESSURE IN AN ORGAN - The invention generally relates to shunts in which at least a portion of the body includes a drug. | 08-02-2012 |
20140236066 | ADJUSTABLE INTRAOCULAR FLOW REGULATION - Methods and devices for adjusting or configuring the flow rate of an intraocular shunt are provided whereby hypotony can be avoided by increasing the flow rate through the device. In some embodiments, the device is a shunt that can have a first flow that can be modified to a second flow by modifying the shunt, such as by cutting the shunt. Additionally, one or more dissolvable portions can be present to provide an initial flow restriction and subsequent increase in flow over time. | 08-21-2014 |
