Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system for reducing intraocular pressure of a patient in need including a delivery device and an intraocular implant positioned within the lumen of the cannula proximal to a retention plug. The delivery device has a housing sized to be held by an operator and an actuator. The delivery device has a cannula defining a lumen and having a proximal end coupled to the housing. The cannula extends along longitudinal axis from the proximal end to a distal end, the distal end of the cannula having rounded inner and outer edges defining a blunt, non-beveled distal opening from the lumen. The retention plug is attached to the cannula spanning the lumen near the distal opening. Related methods, implants and delivery tools are provided.
