Apparatus and methods for introducing a solid or semi-solid intraocular drug-containing implant into the anterior chamber of an eye are described. The drug-containing implant can be a rod-shaped biodegradable implant that may provide for the extended release of the drug and may be effective for treating a medical condition of the eye. The apparatus is ergonomically designed in the shape or style of a pen with tactile surfaces for easy gripping, a needle-rotation knob to permit orientation of the needle bevel in relation to the eye, and a spring-actuated mechanism for consistent deployment of the implant.

Intraocular implant delivery apparatus and methods of use thereof

An assembly for implanting ocular implants into a mammalian eye is provided. The assembly generally includes a cannula having a curved distal end, an injector mechanism coupled to the cannula for linearly moving one or more implant segments in the cannula toward the curved distal end, and a rotator mechanism for rotating the cannula about a longitudinal axis thereof.
