Non-invasively adjustable valve implant for the drainage of aqueous humor in glaucoma

摘要

A medical implant valve, for example, a glaucoma valve, is configured to be non-invasively adjustable. A rotor is operatively coupled to the valve to enable the position of valve to be adjusted between an open and closed position; the rotor being responsive to a magnetic field. An external instrument is used to control rotation of the rotor.
