Abstract
An aqueous humor drainage device for implantation into a tissue passage leading into the anterior chamber of the eye. In one aspect, the device includes a flexible tube and a tissue sealing structure extending radially outward from the tube in at least two different directions. The tissue sealing structure is spaced apart from and intermediate cylindrical outer surfaces of proximal and distal portions of the tube. The tissue sealing structure extends radially outward beyond the cylindrical outer surfaces of the proximal and distal portions of the tube. The tissue sealing structure has a second maximal cross-sectional dimension that is greater than a first maximal cross-sectional dimension of the tube and is configured to interface to the tissue passage and form a seal between the tissue passage and the tissue sealing structure. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
