Abstract: A device for controlled delivery of an injection material to tissue spaces of an eye that are not normally open, such as the subconjunctival space, the suprachoroidal space and the subretinal space. The device comprises an elongated body with a hollow cannula at the distal end, a slidable plunger at the proximal end, and a reservoir for the material to be injected residing between the cannula and the plunger. The plunger is mechanically coupled to a source of force such as a spring or pressurized gas reservoir such that an injection force is applied to the injection material within the device prior to delivery of the injection material into an eye. A valve that is normally closed to prevent flow of the injection material during application of the injection force is placed in the flow path between the cannula and reservoir. Due to the injection force placed on the injection material, actuation of the valve allows controlled flow from the reservoir through the cannula and into the tissue space.

Abstract: Injection device comprising an elongated body (1) with a hollow needle (8) at a distal end; a reservoir for an injection material to be delivered through the needle; a plunger (3) with a first force element (5) configured to provide an injection force to said injection material, and a distal element (10) attached to the distal end of the device thereby sealing a needle lumen, wherein the distal element comprises a tissue interface and a distal seal (11), and wherein the distal seal is penetrable by a distal tip of the needle by the application of pressure on a tissue surface with the distal end of the device, wherein the penetrated distal element becomes slidable on the needle to allow advancement of the needle into tissue, wherein the penetrated distal seal opens a path for flow or delivery of the injection material from the distal end of the needle.
