Ex Vivo implantation study of minimally invasive glaucoma drainage device
2010
2010 IEEE 5th International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems
We present in this paper the first ex vivo implantation results of our minimally invasive glaucoma drainage device (GDD.) The GDD is designed to treat glaucoma patients by draining out their extraneous aqueous humor out of the anterior chamber utilizing a MEMS micro-fluidic normally closed (NC) check valve. The NC check valve is encapsulated in protective tubing made from parylene C, which has been proved to be biocompatible in implantation. A new packaging and a benchtop testing procedure is
