Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An intraocular shunt inserter for treating glaucoma comprises a needle, a plunger assembly, and a component driver. The needle defines a lumen and a proximal end portion of the needle. The plunger assembly comprises a plunger at least partially disposed within the lumen of the needle, wherein the plunger is configured to advance a shunt through the lumen of the needle upon release. The component driver comprises an actuation member, wherein the component driver elongates from a first length to a second length upon movement of the actuation member for changing a longitudinal relative position of a distal end portion of the plunger, when coupled to a proximal end portion of the plunger, or a distal end portion of the needle, when coupled to a proximal end portion of the needle.
