In addition to our commercially available Orbital Tissue Expander, we are developing other products that can be used to improve the appearance and function of patients' eyes.

Prototypes Available:

1) Eye Muscle Prosthesis - This device is designed to realign the eye and permit ocular rotation in patients who suffer from the dysfunction of one or more eye muscles necessary to control eye movement (paralytic strabismus).

The below devices leverage Innovia's biocompatible materials whose unique properties enable improved devices when compared to those on the market. Indeed, technology that has existed in its current form for a number of years can finally be replaced.

Prototypes/Clinical Trial Devices Available:

1) MIDI-Arrow Glaucoma Device* - This is a drainage implant consisting of a microtube made from SIBS that is inserted into the anterior chamber of the eye. In one version, the tube shunts fluid into a bleb made in the conjuctiva. In another version, the tube is attached to a plate that receives the shunted fluid while also maintaining the bleb. The third round of clinical trials has commenced.

LABORATORY SCIENCES: A Newly Designed Glaucoma Drainage Implant Made of poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene)

*Product developed by InnFocus LLC, a related company of Innovia. Its primary purpose is to utilize Innovia's proprietary polymers to develop game-changing devices to treat glaucoma.

2) Accommodating Intraocular Lens - An accommodating lens is typically implanted into the lens capsule after cataract surgery to restore vision over several distances. Our lens can be inserted through a <2mm diameter cannula. And, once in place, the ciliary muscles attached to the capsule will allow for a 3-4 diopter change in vision which should eliminate the need for reading glasses after surgery.

Because of their biocompatibility, high tensile strengths and elongations, and wide durometer and modulus options (from very low to very high), Innovia's elastomeric materials have many potential uses in Orthopedics. Below is a list of a few.

Prototypes Available:

1) Motion Preservation Stabilizers - Our stabilizer is a spinal component used to absorb shock between vertebrae.

2) Vertebral Disc Filler - Filaments and other shapes made of our materials can be used to fill the emptied space of a vertebral disc (i.e. nucleus pulposus) with the goal of replacing motion-limiting disc fusion.

3) Interspinous Spacer - This spacer is a shock absorber implanted minimally invasively between the spinous processes of the spine. The spacer is rigid enough to stabilize the spine, but soft enough to absorb shock without erosion of the processes.

4) Vertebroplasty Agent - Material that can be injected into vertebrae to treat verterbral compression fractures that stays sufficiently soft to not transfer stress loads to adjacent vertebrae.

5) Artificial Ligament and Tendon - Our high tensile strength, low modulus materials also can be used to replace ligaments.

6) Intermedullary Rod - This is a rod made of proprietary high durometer, biocompatible, radio-opaque material that feels very similar to the rigidity of bone. The rod can be drilled through at any point along its length while maintaining its integrity. In this manner, the time consuming task of locating drill holes in metal rods during surgery becomes unnecessary.
