    摘要: An implanted parylene tube shunt relieves intra-ocular pressure. The device is implanted with an open end in the anterior chamber of the eye, allowing excess fluid to be drained through the tube out of the eye. In one embodiment, only a first end of the tube implanted into the anterior chamber of the eye is open. Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) is then monitored, for example utilizing an implanted sensor. When IOP exceeds a critical value, a practitioner intervenes, puncturing with a laser a thinned region of the tube lying outside the eye, thereby initiating drainage of fluid and relieving pressure. In accordance with alternative embodiments, the both ends of the tube are open, and the tube includes a one-way valve configured to permit drainage where IOP exceeds the critical value. The tube may include projecting barbs to anchor the tube in the eye without the need for sutures.

    摘要: Systems and methods for improving the adherence of poorly-adherent parylene-to-parylene films or layers and/or altering the water and chemical permeability of the parylene layers. A device having two or more parylene layers is heated in a reduced pressure treatment chamber at a temperature above the deposition temperature of the parylene (e.g., from about room temperature to several hundreds of degrees Celsius) for an extended period of time (e.g., a few hours up to several days). The methods of the present invention have been shown to convert poorly-adherent and/or water-permeable films to optimally-adherent and/or relatively water-impermeable films.
