Abstract
An intraocular shunt can be manufactured using a system that includes a liquid bath and a wire, which is moved through the bath. The wire can be moved through a first liquid bath to produce a first tubular layer of drug-infused gelatin. Further, the wire can be moved through a second liquid bath to produce a second tubular layer of drug-free gelatin. The first and second tubular layers can be dried on the wire in a humidity-controlled space, thereby manufacturing a drug-loaded gelatin shunt.
