Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for, and for providing, intraocular delivery of an active agent. The apparatus, system and method may include an implantable scaffold and an active agent associated with the implantable scaffold. The implantable scaffold and the active agent may be configured to be completely contained within the eye upon implantation. The implantable scaffold may be a mechanical scaffold, or the implantable scaffold may be a chemical scaffold.

Claim (Index 49):
An implantable scaffold suitable for intraocular delivery of at least one active agent, the implantable scaffold comprising:\n at least one mechanical vehicle that is formed from a material that is suitable for intraocular implantation and takes the shape of a cylinder; and at least one physical association of said at least one active agent with said at least one vehicle, wherein said at least one physical association is suitable for intraocular delivery of said at least one active agent by said at least one vehicle upon the intraocular implantation of at least said at least one vehicle, said physical association, and said at least one active agent, wherein said at least one vehicle is configured to be connected to an external reservoir, that is separate from the mechanical vehicle and is positioned outside of an eye after implantation of the mechanical vehicle in the eye, via a tube, for refillable delivery of said at least one active agent to the mechanical vehicle via an injection port of said external reservoir after implantation of said at least one vehicle in the eye.
