Systems and methods for drug delivery to ocular tissue

Abstract

Disclosed are devices and methods for directed delivery of a medicament into ocular tissue. A device for delivering a medicament to ocular tissue may include a housing, a container configured to contain the medicament, and a needle in fluid communication with the container, and a carriage positioned within the housing and coupled to the container and the needle. The carriage may be translatable along the needle axis and the carriage may include a threaded outer surface. The device may further include a nut positioned within the housing and engaged with the threaded outer surface. Rotation of the nut may be configured to cause the carriage and the needle to translate in a distal direction along the needle axis.
