Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods of using a catheter having a braided conductive member. One embodiment relates to a method for treating a condition of a patient that involves contacting an exterior wall of a blood vessel with the braided conductive member. Another embodiment relates to a method that involves contacting a wall of a blood vessel with the braided conductive member and controlling energy delivery to the braided conductive member based on at least one sensed temperature.

Abstract: An electrophysiology catheter and method of use for mapping and ablation procedures. The catheter includes a braided conductive member at its distal end that can be radially expanded. The catheter can be used in endocardial and epicardial mapping and ablation procedures.

Abstract: A method of implanting a transcorneal shunt into a cornea, the shunt having a head and a foot, each having a hole therein, the method including the operations of engaging an insertion tool with a foot hole of the shunt; making an entry incision in the cornea; inserting the shunt, while still engaged with the insertion tool, through the entry incision; making an implant incision in the cornea; inserting the head of the shunt through the implant incision to position and seat the shunt; and releasing the shunt from the insertion tool.

Abstract: Packaging for holding an ophthalmic shunt, the ophthalmic shunt having a foot, a head, and a body connecting the foot and head, the packaging having an elastomeric membrane with an aperture for receiving the shunt in the packaging.

Abstract: An insertion tool and method are provided for implanting an ophthalmic shunt having a foot, a head and a body connecting the foot and head. The insertion tool has a first arm having a proximal end and a distal end and a second arm having a proximal end and a distal end. The second arm is movable with respect to the first arm between an open position and a closed position. A means to grip a shunt is disposed on the distal ends of the first and second arms. In use, the insertion tool is employed to selectively grip the shunt for placement in the tissue of the eye and, as desired, to orient the shunt after placement.

Abstract: An ocular implant device that is insertable into either the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye to drain aqueous humor and/or to introduce medications. The implant can include a substantially cylindrical body with a channel member that regulates the flow rate of aqueous humor from the anterior chamber or introduces medications into the posterior chamber, and simultaneously minimizes the ingress of microorganisms into the eye.
