Abstract:
1. An implantable micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) package for the treatment of an ocular condition, comprising: a first layer having a first facing surface, the first layer forming an outer portion; a second layer having a second facing surface, the second layer being attached to the first layer in a manner forming an interface at the second facing surface and the first facing surface, the second layer forming an active portion comprising a fluid regulating element having a moving element; a fluidic channel formed within at least one of the first facing surface and the second facing surface at the interface of the first and second facing surfaces so that the fluidic channel is enclosed by a portion of both the first layer and the second layer, the fluidic channel extending from an edge of the MEMS package to the fluid regulating element of the second layer for drainage of fluid therethrough; wherein the second layer includes a third facing surface opposite the second facing surface, and wherein the fluidic passage is a first fluidic passage, the package comprising: a third layer having a fourth facing surface, the third layer being disposed so that the fourth facing surface faces and is attached to the third facing surface; and a second fluidic channel formed within at least one of the third facing surface and the fourth facing surface so that the second fluidic channel is formed and enclosed by a portion of both the third layer and the second layer, the second fluidic channel extending from the fluid regulating element of the second layer to a second edge of the MEMS package for drainage of fluid through the first fluidic passage to the fluid regulating element and for drainage of fluid through the second fluidic passage from the fluid regulating element and out of the MEMS package.
