Abstract: The present invention relates to an ocular device for regulating intraocular fluid pressure comprising or consisting of a tubular body wherein the inner surface of the tubular body or the inner and outer surface is/are coated with covalently immobilized hyaluronic acid (HA). In more specific embodiments, the tubular body comprises or consists of a biocompatible material selected from the group comprising a biocompatible metal such as titanium, ceramics, glass, polymers and composites thereof, and the immobilized hyaluronic acid molecules are linked with further HA molecules to form a HA hydrogel. The ocular device is a stent free from mechanical valves or other mechanical means for actively regulating the flow of intraocular fluid.

Abstract: An apparatus for illuminating an intraocular space in a human or animal eye in a targeted fashion is described, said apparatus comprising a) a base (2) with a proximal end and a distal end, b) a shaft (3) with a proximal end and a distal end, c) a probe (4) with a proximal end and a distal end, d) a light source (5) comprising at least one LED, and e) a power source (6) connected to the light source (5), wherein the shaft, at its distal end, is connectable to the proximal end of the base, the probe, at its proximal end, is connectable to the distal end of the base and wherein the light source (5) is positioned at the distal end of the probe (4).

Abstract: Ablation instrument is provided for cutting, fragmenting and/or removing material of an object, containing a carrier substrate, having at least one resistance-heated layer which is disposed on the substrate and made of doped diamond or diamond-like carbon (DLC) and also at least one electrical lead and at least one electrical discharge which are both electrically connected at different places by the resistance-heated layer.

Abstract: An instrument for surgical purposes, especially for coagulation, is proposed. This instrument has at least one arm, the tips of the arms having electrical contact regions which can be electrically connected to a control unit for touching a tissue for the purpose of coagulation. The contact regions are formed from doped diamond to produce the electrical conductivity.
