A combination bioactive silicate (e.g., bioactive glass) medicine carrier and shunt of one embodiment includes a shunt which is a tubular member made of bioactive silicate or glass being adapted to be bioresorbable and water soluble, or fiber bundle, the shunt including an insertion end at a first end. Gaps in the bioactive silicate or gaps in the glass adapted to be bioresorbable and water soluble are served as at least one storage for storing medicines.

Combination bioactive silicate medicine carrier and shunt

A shunt for draining ocular fluid of one embodiment includes a tubular body formed of a mesh material including bioactive glass fiber and collagen, the tubular body including an implantation member and a conduit through the implantation member. The implantation member and the conduit are formed integrally. Other embodiments are also contemplated.

Shunt for draining ocular fluid

The present invention provides a light transmittable and tissue integration integrable biofiber device including a plurality of biofibers. The plurality of biofibers consist a single bare fiber or a single constructed fiber. The single constructed fiber consists a core layer and either a single cladding layer or a plurality of cladding layers, and the cladding layer clads and fuses a circumferential surface of the core layer. Each of the plurality of biofibers comprises a light receiving end and a light emitting end, a light radiates through the light receiving end and the light is emitted from the a light emitting end. Therefore, the biofiber device of the present invention may simultaneously accomplish light transmittable and tissue integrable purposes to facilitate light therapy, optical gene therapy and optogenetics.
