Abstract: An inserter for treating glaucoma can comprise a housing, a needle, a plunger, a slider component, and a drive component. The drive component is disposed within a cavity of the housing and rotatable within the cavity to result in movement along a longitudinal axis of the inserter to the needle and the plunger upon rotation of the drive component. The slider component is coupled to the housing and slidable along an elongate groove of the drive component such that movement of the slider component along the axis rotates the drive component within the housing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the production of an open cell porous structure the cells of which are optionally filled with an elastomeric or thermosetting plastic material. The open cell porous structure comprises a nanocrystalline metallic coating comprising nanocrystals having a crystallite size of from about 5 nm to about 150 nm.
