So instead of creating a flap and then trying to tie it down, just right, so you get some percolation fluid. These are actually design to restrict flow so that you get enough flow that the pressure is lowered but not so much that you have problems with Hypotony. But they are essentially modified Trabeculectomy. It's just not, necessarily, making the same types of incisions. Now, the InnFocus MicroShunt® -- I've received a lot of press recently because some early results came out that look good but this does currently require an external incision, cutting through the conjunctiva, cutting down, creating a small flap in the sclera much smaller than you would for Trabeculectomy but it still Trabeculectomy. Still you would expect that you're still going to need to use antimetabolites such as Mitomycin-C or 5-FU for it to work. Blood disperse, it disperse.
