Magnetoelastic implantable actuation device and method
Abstract:
An implantable actuation device that may be used with a glaucoma drainage device or attached to an ocular surface, a method of making an implantable actuation device, and a method of preventing cell adhesion resulting from a glaucoma treatment procedure. The implantable actuation device is made from a magnetoelastic material. Actuation of the magnetoelastic material may help control cellular adhesion that may develop and undesirably disrupt proper healing when recovering from invasive surgical treatments. The implantable actuation devices may have small form factors and customized geometries which include three-dimensional curvatures to help promote the actuation of liquid flow and facilitate the removal of unwanted cells.
