A method for implanting a non-invasively and post-operatively adjustable penile implant in a penis of a patient, the implant comprising an expandable portion having a hollow portion adapted to receive a fluid, thereby allowing the expandable portion to be adjustable from a collapsed state into an expanded state. The method comprises the steps of: placing a proximal portion of said hollow portion in at least one corpus cavernosum, such that said proximal portion substantially extend on the inside of the male person when implanted in the penis; placing a distal portion of said hollow portion in the at least one corpus cavernosum such that said distal portion substantially extends on the outside of the male person when implanted in the penis, wherein the distal portion is placed with an invagination extending into the hollow portion in the collapsed state, and wherein said invagination is adapted to expand the hollow body in a length direction of the penile implant in the expanded state.

According to an aspect, an inflatable implant includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid; an inflatable member; and a pump assembly configured to transfer fluid from the fluid reservoir to the inflatable member, the inflatable member including a body member and a core member, the body member defining a first cavity and a second cavity, the core member being disposed within the first cavity, the second cavity being configured to receive the fluid.

In particular, some embodiments provide shunts having a plurality of individually actuatable flow control elements that can control the flow of fluid through associated ports and/or flow lumens. For example, each individually actuatable flow control element can be actuated to modify a flow of a corresponding port and/or flow lumen. The individually actuatable flow control elements may be actuated along a given actuation axis. A flow control assembly may include a plurality of flow control elements arranged about a collection region. Accordingly, the shunts described herein can be manipulated into a variety of configurations that provide different drainage rates based on a degree to which the ports and/or flow lumens are blocked or unblocked, therefore providing a titratable glaucoma therapy for draining aqueous from the anterior chamber of the eye.

According to an aspect, an implant includes an inflatable member and a pump assembly configured to facilitate a transfer of a fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member. The inflatable member has a sidewall that defines a lumen. The sidewall has an outer surface and an inner surface disposed opposite the outer surface. The inner surface has a series of undulations.

According to an aspect, an implant includes an inflatable member and a pump assembly configured to facilitate a transfer of a fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member. The inflatable member defining a lumen and including a structural member. The inflatable member includes a coating.

An IOL utilizes a haptic formed as a toroid portion configured to fit into a capsular bag of an aphakic eye of a patient. The toroid portion may be separate from an IOL optic and may include a receiving feature for the IOL optic. The toroid portion may be configured for intraoperative fluid-filling for snug fitting at the equator of the capsular bag, in order to immobilize the IOL optic.

The invention relates to an ophthalmic pressure control system, comprising: a pressure regulator having an input port and an output port, and an infusion line having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being connected to the output port of the pressure regulator, and the distal end being detachably connected to an ophthalmic irrigation module. Further, the system includes a control unit driving the pressure regulator for controlling an infusion fluid pressure at a distal end of the ophthalmic irrigation module. The control unit is arranged for performing a fluid calibration process including a step of determining a fluid impedance of the ophthalmic irrigation module. The infusion line is associated with a kit of parts including a first and a second ophthalmic irrigation device, or the ophthalmic irrigation module is an ophthalmic irrigation device for surgical use.

According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis includes a fluid reservoir, an inflatable member, and a pump assembly. The pump assembly includes a pump bulb, a valve body, a push valve movably coupled to the valve body, a first fluid port, and a second fluid port. The push valve includes a movable valve element configured to move between an inflation position and a deflation position within a bore of the valve body. The movable valve element in the inflation position defines a fluid passageway through the bore to transfer fluid from the pump bulb to the second fluid port. The movable valve element, when moved to the deflation position, is configured to change the fluid passageway through the bore to transfer fluid from the second fluid port to the first fluid port such that the pump bulb is bypassed.

The present technology is directed to adjustable flow glaucoma shunts and methods for making and using such devices. In many of the embodiments described herein, the shunts include a generally flat frame. The frame can include an elongated portion having a lumen extending therethrough and a bladder portion defining an interior chamber that is in fluid communication with the lumen. When implanted in a patient's eye, aqueous can drain from the anterior chamber to a target outflow location via the lumen and interior chamber. In some embodiments, the shunts include a flow control assembly positioned within the interior chamber of the bladder portion to control the flow of aqueous through the lumen.

Closure devices that selectively control blood flow between the right atrium and the left atrium of a heart of a patient. The control of blood flow can be based on detected values from a pressure sensor. The closure devices can include a body configured to engage native tissue when the device is deployed across the septal wall. In a first state at least a portion of (an inner surface of) a lumen is closed, preventing blood flow through the closure device. Ina second state, the lumen is open to enable blood flow from the left atrium to the right atrium. A closure element can be selectively adjusted to control the flow of blood through the lumen. A volume of an expandable chamber can be increased or decreased to place the closure device into the first state or the second state.
