A glaucoma drain implanting device (14) having a body portion (16) including a proximal end, a distal end, and a separate nozzle portion (18) connected to the distal end of the body including a drain delivery passageway (22), a plunger (24) having a plunger tip movably disposed relative to the drain delivery passageway (22), and a drain receiver (28). A method of using the drain implant device (14) includes the steps of advancing a glaucome drain (100) into the drain delivery passageway (22) of the device (14), thereby placing the glaucoma drain (100) in a staged configuration and placing an exit of the drain delivery passageway (22) proximately to the eye and further advancing the glaucoma drain (100) to cause the glaucoma drain (100) to pass through the exit of the drain delivery passageway (22) and into the tissue of the eye.

On décrit un appareil d'implantation de drain pour glaucome qui comprend un boîtier présentant une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale, une busette séparée fixée sur l'extrémité distale du boîtier et comportant un conduit d'acheminement du drain, un piston muni d'un embout disposé de façon mobile par rapport au conduit d'acheminement du drain, et un récepteur de drain. Dans un mode d'utilisation de l'appareil, on fait avancer un drain pour glaucome à l'intérieur du conduit d'acheminement du drain de l'appareil, ce qui permet de placer le drain dans une configuration étagée. On place ensuite un orifice de sortie du conduit d'acheminement du drain à proximité de l'oeil, et on continue de pousser le drain à travers l'orifice de sortie du conduit d'acheminement pour l'introduire dans le tissu de l'oeil.
