Abstract
A kit containing a complete set of items needed to implant a sustained ocular or intraocular drug delivery system, including, but not limited to, injection devices, topical and injectable medications, surgical instruments, sutures and suturing needles, and eye covers. Provision of the set of items in a kit simplifies preparation for insertion of drug delivery means, reduces the cost of such preparation, reduces the likelihood of errors in preparation or selection of appropriate items during surgery, reduces the complexity of maintenance of sterile conditions, and ultimately reduces the cost of delivering ocular care.
