The present technology relates to adjustable shunting systems and methods. In some embodiments, the present technology includes an adjustable shunting system that includes a drainage element having an inflow portion configured for placement within a patient. The system can also include a flow control assembly having a gating element operably coupled to the outflow portion of the drainage element. The flow control assembly can further include a first actuation element and a second actuation element coupled to the gating element. The first and second actuation elements can be configured to selectively move the gating element relative to the outflow portion to control an amount of fluid flow therethrough. The first and second actuation elements can each extend less than entirely around a perimeter of the drainage element.
An adjustable shunting system, comprising:
A system for draining fluid from a first body region to a second body region of a patient, the system comprising:
A method for selectively controlling fluid flow from a drainage element in an eye of a patient, the method comprising:
A method of shunting fluid using an adjustable flow shunt implanted in a patient and having an actuation element that extends only partially around the shunt, the method comprising:
