Device Description
The Hydrus Microstent is a crescent-shaped implantable microstent pre-loaded onto a hand-held delivery system. It is composed of nitinol, a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, and is designed to occupy approximately 90° or 3 clock hours of Schlemm’s canal.
Indications for Use
The Hydrus Microstent is indicated for use in conjunction with cataract surgery for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Contraindications
The Hydrus Microstent is contraindicated in eyes with angle closure glaucoma, traumatic, malignant, uveitic, or neovascular glaucoma, or discernible congenital anomalies of the anterior chamber (AC) angle.
Warnings
Clear media for adequate visualization is required, and the surgeon should monitor the patient postoperatively for proper maintenance of IOP.
