Canaloplasty with Stegmann Canal Expander for primary open-angle glaucoma: two-year clinical results.

Canaloplasty with the Stegmann Canal Expander was a safe and effective procedure to reduce IOP in White patients with moderate to advanced POAG.

A New Expander for Schlemm Canal Surgery in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma-Interim Clinical Results.

Implantation of the Stegmann Canal Expander in canaloplasty lowered IOP significantly in POAG without complications related to the device in this 1-year observation period.

Novel device for expanding Schlemm's canal: a morphological study: Implantation of the Stegmann Canal Expander following viscodilation of Schlemm's canal resulted in permanent expansion of the canal lumen and distension of the trabecular meshwork without complications.

This may increase the permeability of the trabecular meshwork, reduce its resistance to aqueous humour and maintain circumferential flow within SC.
