A procedure based surgical intervention that facilitates an ab interno approach for controlled viscodilation of Schlemm canal and viscoelastic-assisted dissection within the anterior segment
The EX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device is implanted in an ab externo procedure under a half-thickness scleral flap, creating a subconjunctival filtration bleb. A beveled tip allows for precise, controlled insertion and relief port on the side of the lumen allows for continued...

iStent Supra Micro-Bypass Stent
Glaukos
The iStent is engineered to fit into Schlemm canal, enabling steady physiologic outflow from a snorkel projecting into the anterior chamber. The self-trephinating tip guides device through the trabecular meshwork while retention arches secure placement.
The iStent Supra is designed to reduce IOP by accessing the suprachoroidal space in the eye. Approximately 4.0 mm in length and curved to follow the eye?s anatomy, the iStent Supra is already approved for marketing in the European Union and certain other countries outside the...
The MINIject implant is made from a proprietary material with a unique structure composed of an organized network of hollow spheres which encourage a natural flow speed. According to the company, the porous design reduces the incidence of fibrosis and minimises scarring, thus...
Hydrus Microstent is designed to be inserted into Schlemm canal to enable circumferential outflow and function like a scaffold to prevent collapse of the canal. The device is made from nitinol, a super-elastic, biocompatible alloy.
The Trabectome is an ab interno technique that involves the removal of the nasal 60 to 120 degrees of the trabecular meshwork and the inner wall of Schlemm canal via bipolar electrocautery. The system consists of a handpiece, which has built-in continuous irrigation, a power...
The Kahook Dual Blade (KBD) is a single-use, surgical grade stainless steel instrument consisting of a long, thin shaft that allows for access across the anterior chamber, a pointed tip used to pierce trabecular meshwork, a ramp that lifts and stretches the tissue as the device is...
The InnFocus MicroShunt Glaucoma Drainage System (formerly known as MIDI Arrow) was developed in conjunction with the University of Miami's Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. The drainage implant consists of a small micro-tube made of a biostable thermoplastic elastomeric material...
