    摘要: An implanted parylene tube shunt relieves intra-ocular pressure. The device is implanted with an open end in the anterior chamber of the eye, allowing excess fluid to be drained through the tube out of the eye. In one embodiment, only a first end of the tube implanted into the anterior chamber of the eye is open. Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) is then monitored, for example utilizing an implanted sensor. When IOP exceeds a critical value, a practitioner intervenes, puncturing with a laser a thinned region of the tube lying outside the eye, thereby initiating drainage of fluid and relieving pressure. In accordance with alternative embodiments, the both ends of the tube are open, and the tube includes a one-way valve configured to permit drainage where IOP exceeds the critical value. The tube may include projecting barbs to anchor the tube in the eye without the need for sutures.

    摘要: MEMs devices are integrally fabricated with included micro or nanoparticles by providing a mixture of a sacrificial material and a multiplicity of particles, disposing the mixture onto a substrate, fabricating a MEMs structure on the substrate including at least part of the mixture, so that at least some of the mixture is enclosed in the MEMs structure, removing the sacrificial material, and leaving at least some of the multiplicity of particles substantially free and enclosed in the MEMs structure. The step of fabricating a MEMs structure is quite general and is contemplated as including one or a multiplicity of additional steps for creating some type of structure in which the particles, which may be microbeads or nanobeads, are included. A wide variety of useful applications for MEMs integrated with micro or nanoparticles are available.
