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 30):
A method of providing intraocular delivery of an active agent in an eye, comprising:\n providing an implantable mechanical scaffold, wherein the implantable mechanical scaffold comprises an interior reservoir and is formed from a flexible material, wherein the implantable mechanical scaffold is in the shape of a cylinder; associating the active agent with the implantable mechanical scaffold; performing an intraocular implantation of the implantable mechanical scaffold and the active agent; positioning an external reservoir configured to be positioned outside of the eye when the implantable mechanical scaffold is intraocularly implanted, wherein the external reservoir is separate from the implantable mechanical scaffold and comprises an injection port; fluidly connecting the external reservoir to the interior reservoir via a tube; delivering the active agent from the scaffold following the intraocular implantation; and refilling the interior reservoir with the active agent via the injection port of the external reservoir after the intraocular implantation.
