Patent number: 10406029Abstract: Ocular implants, delivery devices and methods for treating ocular disorders are disclosed. One method involves inserting an implant on one side of an eye. The implant has an anchor on a distal end portion and an outlet opening that is disposed proximal of the anchor. The implant is advanced across the eye to the other side of the eye. The anchor is inserted into eye tissue on the other side of the eye. A therapeutic agent is eluted using the implant.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Glaukos CorporationInventors: Hosheng Tu, Jason Artof, David Steven Haffner, Gregory T.

Patent number: 9301875Abstract: Intraocular stents and applicators are disclosed for treating glaucoma. The stents are configured to extend between the anterior chamber of the eye and Schlemm's canal for enhancing outflow of aqueous from the anterior chamber so as to reduce intraocular pressure. The stents can have features for anchoring the stent into Schlemm's canal as well as preventing the walls of Schlemm's canal from closing the outlet of the stents. The applicators can be steerable so as to make implantation easier. Additionally, the applicators can be configured to hold a plurality of stents so that multiple stents can be implanted through one incision without removing the applicator from the incision between serial implantations.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2005Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: GLAUKOS CORPORATIONInventors: Hosheng Tu, Jason Artof, David Steven Haffner, Gregory T.

Publication number: 20070173932Abstract: An improved prosthetic mitral valve is provided having advantageous hemodynamic performance, nonthrombogenicity, and durability. The valve includes a valve body having an inflow annulus and an outflow annulus. Commissural attachment locations are disposed adjacent the outflow annulus. An anterior leaflet and a posterior leaflet of the valve are shaped differently from one another. The inflow annulus preferably is scalloped so as to have a saddle-shaped periphery having a pair of relatively high portions separated by a pair of relatively low portions. The anterior high portion preferably is vertically higher than the posterior high portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: 3F THERAPEUTICS, INC.Inventors: Douglas Cali, Keith Myers, Brian Biancucci, Jason Artof, Christine Nguyen, Rodolfo Quijano
