Ophthalmic equipment for glaucoma treatment and related minimally invasive glaucoma surgery methods

摘要

The bypass device can be embedded in the body tissue and provide a fluid channel through the body tissue. The bypass device includes an open tubular base and a plurality of or split features coupled to the open tubular base, which can be reconfigured from a first position to a second position. be. In the first position, the split feature extends longitudinally along the plane of the open tubular base, and the split feature bends the split feature relative to the tubular base. It can be reconstructed into a second position by means of the second position, where the split feature is configured to be inserted through the body tissue. The separate features can be configured as opposed arrow-shaped tongues that bend to form a tent structure that can be inserted into body tissue. Bypass devices can be used in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) for the treatment of glaucoma to define a fluid flow path that allows aqueous humor to enter Schlemm's canal through the trabecular meshwork.
