InnFocus Microshunt

Santen

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 that shunts aqueous fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye to a sub-conjunctival/sub-Tenon flap. The shunt was designed to be thin and soft to conform to the curvature of the eye.
