Patent

CA 2442652

The invention relates generally to medical devices and methods for reducing the intraocular pressure in an animal eye and, more particularly, to stent type devices for permitting aqueous outflow from the eye's anterior chamber and associated methods thereof for the treatment of glaucoma. Some aspects provide a self-trephining glaucoma stent and methods thereof which advantageously allow for a "one-step" procedure in which the incision and placement of the stent are accomplished by a single device and operation. This desirably allows for a faster, safer, and less expensive surgical procedure.

L'invention concerne généralement des dispositifs médicaux et des procédés destinés à réduire la pression intra-oculaire dans l'oeil d'un animal et, plus particulièrement, à des dispositifs du type stent permettant l'écoulement aqueux de la chambre antérieure de l'oeil et des procédés associés destinés au traitement d'un glaucome. Certains aspects concerne un stent d'autotrépanation de glaucome et des procédés associés permettant la réalisation avantageuse d'une procédure <= en une étape >= dans laquelle l'incision et le placement du stent sont effectués par un dispositif unique et au moyen d'une opération unique. Cet invention permet donc de rendre la procédure chirurgicale plus rapide, plus sûre et moins coûteuse.
