  • Functionally graded material tube and method for use of the same in implantation
    Patent number: 8888734
    Abstract: A device for implantation a patient may include a tubular fiber wall that defines at least one opening and at least one lumen continuous with the one opening and adapted to allow the passage of fluid. The tubular fiber wall typically contains a porosity gradient that is adapted to permit passage of different size substances at different locations along the gradient. In one aspect, a second tubular fiber wall substantially encircling the tubular fiber wall.

  • Glaucoma active pressure regulation shunt
    Patent number: 8771220
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a glaucoma shunt may include a tube having an anterior portion (with an opening) and a posterior portion. The glaucoma shunt may include a valve, inside the tube, coupled to a drainage portion. The tube may be configured to couple to a first portion of an eye and the drainage portion may be configured to couple to a second portion of the eye. In some embodiments, the drainage portion may be configured to move the valve relative to the tube such that when the eye expands, the valve moves away from the opening in the anterior portion of the tube to increase fluid flow. The drainage portion may further be configured to move the valve relative to the tube such that when the eye contracts, the valve moves toward the opening in the anterior portion of the tube to decrease fluid flow.
