CyPass Micro-Stent

Alcon, a Novartis Division

The CyPass Micro-Stent is made from a biocompatible material used in intraocular lens haptics and is designed to enhance outflow to the uveoscleral pathway via the supraciliary space by bypassing the ciliary body. The micro-stent is inserted via the Applier which has a self-locating, semi-blunt tip designed to help the stent slide in the virtual space between the ciliary body and the sclera without causing any adjacent tissue damage.
