| 20120022424 | DEVICE FOR PLACING CIRCUMFERENTIAL IMPLANT IN SCHLEMM'S CANAL - A device is provided to enable placing an implant within the full circumference of Schlemm's canal of an eye. The device comprises a flexible elongated solid element with a proximal end and a distal tip that transmits light such as one or more strands of a fiber optic. The device is characterized by selected mechanical characteristics to allow advancement within Schlemm's canal. The fiber optic element transmits light from a proximal connector to the distal tip to provide a lighted tip that may be viewed transclerally when the device is advanced along Schlemm's canal. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120010702 | OPHTHALMIC IMPLANT FOR TREATMENT OF GLAUCOMA - An implant is placed within Schlemm's canal of the eye and provides tension to the trabecular meshwork. The tension is continuous and increases the aqueous outflow without the necessity of administering cholinergic drugs to treat glaucoma. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20100191177 | DEVICE FOR ASPIRATING FLUIDS - Surgical devices are provided for aspiration of the subretinal fluid (SRF) of the eye in a retinal detachment that allows re-apposition of the sensory retina to the underlying RPE. The device is connected to a vacuum source, introduced into the posterior chamber through a sclerostomy port and placed against the detached retinal tissue. The device pulls on and captures the surface of the sensory retina, causing a micro needle to pierce through the tissue. As the sensory retina is captured and held in place by the vacuum, a protected pocket is created and the tissue is prevented from folding onto itself and occluding the micro needle tip. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100191176 | SUBRETINAL ACCESS DEVICE - The invention provides surgical devices that provide access to the sub-retinal space using delicate traction to hold the sensory retina to create and maintain a patent sub-retinal space of sufficient size to introduce and perform treatments on the eye. Such treatments may include the introduction of illumination or imaging agents or tools, surgical tools, the infusion of pharmaceutical or biological agents, and the placement of grafts, transplants or implants and the closure of the site through the delivery of a sealant. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100191103 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SURGICAL BYPASS OF AQUEOUS HUMOR - The invention provides minimally invasive microsurgical tools and methods to form an aqueous humor shunt or bypass for the treatment of glaucoma. The invention enables surgical creation of a tissue tract ( | 07-29-2010 |
| 20090247955 | MICROLITER INJECTOR - Injectors are provided that may be pre-filled aseptically with an active biological agent into a sterile cavity and sealed in such a manner that the injectate may be readily expelled into the body. The injectors are particularly useful for injecting precisely measured small volumes of sterile agents. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090043321 | Apparatus And Method For Surgical Enhancement Of Aqueous Humor Drainage - An apparatus is provided for forming a tissue tract ( | 02-12-2009 |
