Date Dec. 28, 1995A sclerotomy implant intended to be set in place in the sclera of the eye in order to provide for a continuous flow of aqueous humor through the trabecula for the treatment of a glaucoma. This implant is configured like a platelet made of biocompatible material and comprising an intrascleral portion (1) and a sub-conjuctival portion (5), the latter being adapted to come out of the sclera and penetrate under the conjunctiva. Retaining flanges (7a, 7b) provide for the blocking of the implant in the trap under the scleral flap. The implant comprises at least one continuous flow passage from its trabecular extremity (2) applied against the trabecula up to its external extremity (6) inserted in the conjunctiva. |
