摘要:
Microcannulae are constructed with multiple components in a composite design,allowing the microcannulae to have varying mechanical and delivery propertiesthat will enable ophthalmic treatments by minimally invasive means. Themicrocannula includes at least one flexible, tubular communicating element (9)with an outer diameter of 350 microns or less, a proximal connector forintroduction of materials, energy or tools. It may also include a reinforcingmember attached to the communicating element, which may be designed to createvariable stiffness along the length of the microcannula. The microcannula mayalso include other features such as a signal beacon near the distal tip.
