Occlusive Biomedical Devices, Punctum Plugs, And Methods Of Use Thereof

View page
US Patent:
20050197614, Sep 8, 2005
Filed:
Mar 4, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/071985
Inventors:
Wilson Pritchard - Memphis TN, US
Cedric Flowers - Bartlett TN, US
Tony Prescott - Arlington TN, US
Rick Mendius - Collierville TN, US
Clive Hallam - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
A61M005/00
US Classification:
604008000
Abstract:
Certain embodiments include a punctum plug for blocking flow of lacrimal fluid in an eye, the plug having an introducible portion comprising a dehydrated material hydratable by physiological saline to swell from a first diameter to a second diameter that is at least 50% greater than the first diameter, wherein the portion is swellable by the lacrimal fluid to occlude the punctal opening to block the flow of the lacrimal fluid through the punctal opening, wherein the dehydratable material degrades in less than about seven days in the punctal opening of the patient. Certain embodiments include a device for occluding a nasolacrimal passage, the device comprising an introducible portion made with an anisotropically swellable material. Some embodiments are punctum plugs made with a polysaccharide in the group consisting of gellan, welan, S-88, S-198 and rhamsan gum.

US Patent:
20050220882, Oct 6, 2005
Filed:
Mar 3, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/071866
Inventors:
Wilson Pritchard - Memphis TN, US
Cedric Flowers - Bartlett TN, US
Tony Prescott - Arlington TN, US
Rick Mendius - Collierville TN, US
Clive Hallam - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
A61K031/715
A61K009/48
A61K033/38
US Classification:
424488000, 424618000, 514054000
Abstract:
An embodiment is a swellable medical device that swells after introduction into a patient to occlude a lumen or void in a patient. The device may be anisotropically swellable so that it swells unequally in some dimensions to create an improved fit of the device into the patient. Anisotropically swellable materials are also described. Further, materials and methods for removing a biocompatible hydrogel from a patient by a metal-catalyzed oxidative-reductive reaction are described. Other embodiments are directed to devices that are shrinkable, dissolvable, or otherwise removable by exposure to deionized water or hypertonic solutions. Certain other embodiments are materials and methods for making and using chelation-resistant materials crosslinked by insoluble metal salts.

Ridged Scleral Implants For The Treatment Of Eye Disorders Such As Presbyopia And Glaucoma

View page
US Patent:
20040098126, May 20, 2004
Filed:
Mar 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/378809
Inventors:
Jerre Freeman - Memphis TN, US
Wilson Pritchard - Memphis TN, US
Richard Mendius - Collierville TN, US
Assignee:
Eagle Vision, Inc.
International Classification:
A61F002/14
A61F002/16
US Classification:
623/004100, 623/006640
Abstract:
Scleral implants are provided having structure that locks the implant into incisions in the sclera and provide a stress thereto. In several embodiments, such structure includes an upstanding rib that registers the implant within a scleral incision. The implant also includes an upper convex contour and a lower flatter surface. When implanted, the implant operates to increase the eye pressure and/or provide volumetric expansion of the eye to treat a disorder of the eye.
