==POSTERIOR CHAMBER PLACEMENT OF SUSTAINED RELEASE IMPLANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024159 titled 'POSTERIOR CHAMBER PLACEMENT OF SUSTAINED RELEASE IMPLANT

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system for reducing intraocular pressure in a patient. The system includes a delivery device and an intraocular implant positioned within the lumen of a cannula, proximal to a retention plug. The delivery device has a housing that can be held by an operator and an actuator. The cannula, which is attached to the housing, defines a lumen and extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The distal end of the cannula has rounded inner and outer edges, creating a blunt, non-beveled distal opening from the lumen. The retention plug is attached to the cannula near the distal opening.

* The system includes a delivery device and an intraocular implant.
* The delivery device has a housing and an actuator.
* The cannula, attached to the housing, has a lumen and extends from a proximal end to a distal end.
* The distal end of the cannula has a blunt, non-beveled opening from the lumen.
* The retention plug is attached to the cannula near the distal opening.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Treatment of patients with elevated intraocular pressure.
* Management of glaucoma.
* Reduction of the risk of optic nerve damage.

Problems solved by this technology:

* High intraocular pressure can lead to various eye conditions, including glaucoma.
* Existing treatment methods may have limitations or side effects.
* This system provides a more controlled and targeted approach to reducing intraocular pressure.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved accuracy and precision in reducing intraocular pressure.
* Minimized risk of complications or damage to the eye.
* Enhanced patient comfort and convenience during the procedure.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a system for reducing intraocular pressure of a patient in need including a delivery device and an intraocular implant positioned within the lumen of the cannula proximal to a retention plug. the delivery device has a housing sized to be held by an operator and an actuator. the delivery device has a cannula defining a lumen and having a proximal end coupled to the housing. the cannula extends along longitudinal axis from the proximal end to a distal end, the distal end of the cannula having rounded inner and outer edges defining a blunt, non-beveled distal opening from the lumen. the retention plug is attached to the cannula spanning the lumen near the distal opening. related methods, implants and delivery tools are provided.
