Abstract
In this paper, we report on a microfluidic test-bed for in-vitro simulation of flow characteristics of valved-glaucoma drainage devices. A nanopore membrane is used to mimic the fibrous tissue encapsulation of the sub-conjunctival plate following surgery. Pressure measurements with and without the valve clearly demonstrated the persisting effect of the microvalve in regulating the intraocular pressure subsequent to the fibrous capsule formation.

N2 - In this paper, we report on a microfluidic test-bed for in-vitro simulation of flow characteristics of valved-glaucoma drainage devices. A nanopore membrane is used to mimic the fibrous tissue encapsulation of the sub-conjunctival plate following surgery. Pressure measurements with and without the valve clearly demonstrated the persisting effect of the microvalve in regulating the intraocular pressure subsequent to the fibrous capsule formation.
