Abstract

Systems and methods for delivering multiple ocular implants to reduce intraocular pressure are disclosed. The ocular implants can be implanted at multiple sites within a single human eye without requiring removal of the delivery apparatus from the eye. A system for delivering multiple ocular implants can include a plurality of implants, an external housing, and an introducer assembly. The externalhousing can provide access to an implant singulation actuator and an implant delivery actuator. The introducer assembly can comprise an auto-retracting introducer portion. The delivery apparatus caninclude an infinite activation mechanism / portion and / or a manual singulation mechanism / portion.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application requires U.S. Provisional Patent Applications 62 / 569,458, filed October 6, 2017; 62 / 578,273, filed October 27, 2017; and 62, filed May 14, 2018, under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e). / 671,286; each application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, and all of its disclosures become part of this specification. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to apparatus and methods for delivering multiple implants using a single delivery device without having to remove the device from the subject's body between implants. Background technique [0004] The human eye is a specialized sensory organ capable of light reception and capable of receiving visual images. Aqueous humor (hereinafter "aqueous humor") is a clear liquid that fills at least the area in the front of the eye between the cornea and the lens. Aqueous humor is continuously secreted to the posterior chamber ...
