Ocular implant needle

摘要: An apparatus and method for safely cannulating a blood vessels, including but not limited retinal is described. In one embodiment, the can consist of micropipette/microcannula, micromanipulator positioner mounted to base, which attached wrist rest commonly used in eye surgery. The micropipette/microcannula connected tubing such that medication may be injected through into vessel or conversely, small quantity material removed from vessel. Alternatively, catheter, wire stent placed treat diagnose an area remote insertion site. ability cannulate should efficacious treatment vein artery occlusion, ocular tumors other retinal, vascular optic nerve disorders would benefit diagnosis and/or treatment. another self-sealing needle provided allows perforation structure minimization hemorrhaging when withdrawn vessel/structure. Another embodiment discloses implant needle.
