Outline Surgical goal Device requirements Device design Implantation video (Isabelle Riss) Baseline characteristics One year and two year results Future direction
4
Goal Provide a safe, effective, easy to perform, cost effective surgical treatment for early-stage and trabeculectomy - stage patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG)
5
Device Requirements Biomaterial to minimize foreign body reaction Antiproliferative drug to minimize wound healing response Establish surgical outflow path that lowers IOP ≤ 14 mmHg Minimize immediate postoperative hypotony and unpredictable leakage around or through the device Prevent tube blockage and migration
6
SIBS Material Biomaterial that will likely minimize fibrovascular response in the eye Poly(styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene) “SIBS” SIBS is stable and does not degrade in the body No degradation reduces chronic inflammation and minimizes scar formation SIBS is used in drug eluting coronary stents (TAXUS) Twelve-year history of use in humans

9
Evolution of Device Development Over 100 patients Five generations and five clinical trials
10
Device Design Thin and soft to conform to the curvature of the eye. Lumen large enough to prevent blockage with inflammatory debris, but sufficiently small and long to prevent hypotony. Fin to prevent migration and leakage around the tube. Current design:
