CA 2420830

The invention concerns a glaucoma drain for non-penetrating deep sclerotomy, made of non-resorbable and hydrophilic synthetic material. The invention is characterised in that the drain is configured to be entirely covered by the scleral flap and totally inserted in the intrascleral space. It comprises a transverse bar (110) at one front end of the drain and a longitudinal body (120) extending longitudinally from said transverse bar. The transverse bar (110, 10) is configured to run along and cover the Schlemm's canal (CS) and the opposite ends are configured to penetrate beneath the deep sclera inside the Sclemm's canal. A hole (125) between the arms of the bar provides a target for possible YAG laser micro-punctures.

Il comporte une barre transversale (110) à une extrémité avant du drain et un tronc longitudinal (120) s'étendant longitudinalement à partir de ladite barre transversale. La barre transversale (110, 10) est configurée pour longer et recouvrir le canal de Schlemm (CS) et les extrémités opposées sont configurées pour pénétrer sous la sclère profonde à l'intérieur du canal de Schlemm. Un trou (125) entre les bras de la barre constitue une cible pour d'éventuelles microponctions par laser YAG.
