Publication number: 20240293257Abstract: Described here are systems and methods for accessing Schlemm's canal and for delivering an ocular device, tool, or fluid composition therein. The ocular devices may maintain the patency of Schlemm's canal without substantially interfering with transmural fluid flow across the canal. The fluid composition may be a viscoelastic fluid that is delivered into the canal to facilitate drainage of aqueous humor by disrupting the canal and surrounding trabeculocanalicular tissues. Some systems described here may be configured to cut or tear the trabecular meshwork with the body of an elongate member located within Schlemm's canal. Other tools for disrupting these tissues and minimally invasive methods for treating medical conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure, including glaucoma, are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: September 5, 2024Inventors: David Y. BADAWI, Daniel O'KEEFFE, Paul BADAWI

Patent number: 11877954Abstract: Provided herein are methods and devices for grasping and/or tearing trabecular meshwork of an eye of a subject. The devices may include a shaft and a tissue grabber coupled to the shaft. The tissue grabber may include an elongate lower foot configured to be inserted into Schlemm's canal, and a groove configured to grasp a portion of the trabecular meshwork. The methods may include: advancing a tissue grabber to Schlemm's canal of the eye, wherein the tissue gripper comprises a lower foot and a tissue grabbing region; advancing a tip of the lower foot through the trabecular meshwork and into Schlemm's canal; and advancing the lower foot within and relative to Schlemm's canal, wherein as the lower foot is advanced, a portion of the trabecular enters the tissue gripping region, is torn from surrounding tissue, and is collected within the tissue gripping region.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: SIGHT SCIENCES, INC.Inventors: David Y.

Patent number: 11865041Abstract: Devices, methods and kits are described for reducing intraocular pressure. The devices include a support that is implantable within Schlemm's canal and maintains the patency of the canal without substantially interfering with transmural fluid flow across the canal. The devices utilize the natural drainage process of the eye and can be implanted with minimal trauma to the eye. Kits include a support and an introducer for implanting the support within Schlemm's canal. Methods include implanting a support within Schlemm's canal, wherein the support is capable of maintaining the patency of the canal without substantial interference with transmural fluid flow across the canal.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: SIGHT SCIENCES, INC.Inventors: David Y.
