NON-INVASIVELY ADJUSTABLE VALVE IMPLANT FOR THE DRAINAGE OF AQUEOUS HUMOR IN GLAUCOMA

摘要

A medical implant valve (10), for example, a glaucoma valve, is configured to be non-adjustable. A rotor (40) is operatively coupled to a valve (24) to enable the position of the valve (24) to be adjusted between an open and closed position; the rotor (40) being responsive to a magnetic field (96). An external instrument (90) is used to control rotation of the rotor (40).
