Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent System, Left-Flow, 1 L x 0.25 W x 0.33 mm H, Titanium, 120 µm Snorkel Bore ID, Retention Arches, Self-Trephining Tip, Adult Age Group, Heparin Coated, Sterile, Single-Use, For Reduce Intraocular Pressure
The iStent trabecular micro-bypass stent model GTS100R/L is an intraocular stent that is manufactured from titanium (Ti6Al4V ELI) and is coated with stearalkonium heparin. The stent has a single piece design, is 1 mm in length, 0.33 mm in height, with a snorkel length of 0.25 mm and a nominal snorkel bore diameter of 120 µm. The implant is intended for placement into Schlemm's canal, which creates a patent opening in the trabecular meshwork and reestablishes normal physiological outflow. The inserter has been designed by Glaukos Corporation to hold the implant and to release the implant once it has been inserted within Schlemm's canal. The last digit of these model numbers (L and R) correlates to a left-flow stent and a right-flow stent. The stents are identical except the "foot" faces opposite directions in order to facilitate nasal stent placement and to optimize distal flow through collector channels. Model GTS100L is designed for the left eye.
