A modular glaucoma implant for the treatment of glaucoma is described. Embodiments disclosed describe a glaucoma treatment device including an elongated fixation stent that allows aqueous humor to flow from the anterior chamber of the eye to the Schlemm's Canal when implanted. One or more drainage tubes can be inserted into the fixation stent such that the drainage tubes allow aqueous humor to flow from the anterior chamber of the eye to the suprachoroidal space. Surgeons can opt to add as many drainage tubes as desired based on the needed aqueous humor outflow rate.

A proton beam imaging system includes: a proton beam generator to generate a proton beam; a proton beam modulator through which the proton beam passes positioned between the proton beam generator and an image target; and a proton beam detector positioned to detect the proton beam existing the image target; wherein the proton beam modulator comprises: a rotating wheel having an axis of rotation positioned so that the proton beam passes through the axis of rotation and the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the proton beam; a first modulating portion comprising a first material portion and a second material portion through which a proton beam passes; and a second modulating portion comprising a third material portion and a fourth material portion through with the proton beam passes; wherein the first and second wedges are positioned opposite each other on the rotating wheel.

A transfemoral rotator is provided. The transfemoral rotator includes an inner cylinder that nests within a cavity of a base shell. The inner cylinder includes a lower cylindrical hub configured to protrude through an opening in the base shell. A spring clip mechanism operated by a push button serves to lock and unlock the transfemoral rotator to permit for rotation of a lower limb prosthesis and allow for a wearer to sit cross-legged.
