DEVICE DEVICE AND METHOD TO TREAT GLAUCOMA.

摘要

A nonlinear aqueous humor bypass device for diverting aqueous humor in one eye from the anterior chamber into the Schlemm's canal, the bypass device (100) comprising a distant portion (25) having at least one dimensioned terminal aspect and shaped to be received circumferentially in a portion of the Schlemm canal, and a proximal tubular portion (10) that has a light with an internal diameter of about 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, and that is sized and shaped to be received in the anterior chamber of the eye, in which the device (100) allows fluid communication from the proximal portion (10) in the anterior chamber to the distant portion (25) in the Schlemm channel, in which the distant portion (25) is adapted to extend in a direction in the Schlemm channel, characterized in that the proximal portion (10) from the distant portion (25) at an angle to prevent the occlusion from coming into contact with the t ejido of the corneal endothelium or iris tissue when the distant portion (25) is located in the Schlemm canal.
