Patents by Inventor Laurence J. Marsteller

Laurence J. Marsteller has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240042235
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for maintaining functioning drainage blebs to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye being treated for glaucoma. The methods, systems, and compositions feature the combination of a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) implant or procedure and the application of beta radiation to the bleb. The beta radiation can function to inhibit or reduce the inflammation and/or fibrogenesis that typically occurs after insertion of a MIGS implant and leads to bleb failure. By reducing inflammation and/or fibrogenesis, the MIGS implant and the blebs can remain functioning appropriately.

  • Publication number: 20230347172
    Abstract: Radionuclide brachytherapy sources and systems for applying beta radiation to a target area, for example for maintaining functioning drainage blebs or functioning drainage holes in the eye, e.g., to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye being treated for glaucoma. The systems herein provide a substantially uniform dose across a particular area, thereby providing appropriate radiation therapies.

  • Publication number: 20230241411
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for maintaining functioning drainage blebs to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye being treated for glaucoma. The methods, systems, and compositions feature the combination of a minimally invasive micro sclerostomy (MIMS) procedure and the application of beta radiation to a target area. The beta radiation can function to inhibit or reduce the inflammation and/or fibrogenesis that typically occurs after a MIMS procedure and leads to hole and/or bleb failure. By reducing inflammation and/or fibrogenesis, the MIMS holes and/or blebs can remain functioning appropriately.

  • Publication number: 20220212032
    Abstract: Systems and devices for applying radiation to a target area, for example for maintaining functioning drainage blebs or functioning drainage holes in the eye, e.g., to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye being treated for glaucoma. The systems and devices of the present invention provide for the application of beta radiation to the target area, wherein the beta radiation can function to inhibit or reduce the inflammation and/or fibrogenesis that may occur after insertion of an implant into the eye or introduction of a hole for the purpose of draining aqueous humor to maintain a healthy intraocular pressure. By reducing inflammation and/or fibrogenesis, the implant, the hole, the blebs, or other related structures or tissues can remain functioning appropriately.

  • Publication number: 20220176154
    Abstract: Single-use brachytherapy systems for application of beta radiation to a target tissue, and methods of use. The single-use brachytherapy systems herein feature a cap into which a radionuclide brachytherapy source (RBS) can be inserted and a handle that removably attaches to the cap. When the handle is disengaged from the cap in order to access the RBS, the system is rendered useless for its original purpose, for its use as it was originally intended, for its use as prescribed, unless repaired.
