Sentence examples for collector channel from inspiring English sources

7 Previously we reported that Schlemm's canal (SC) cross-sectional area (CSA) as measured from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is much smaller adjacent to collector channel ostia (SC collector channel branch points).
With the Trabectome, the scleral wall of Schlemm's canal with its collector channel openings is exposed to direct aqueous flow.
Aqueous outflow vascular structures and SC collector channel ostia were used as landmarks to identify a reference location within the limbus.
In our 2010 publication, we were not attempting to provide an overall characterisation of SC, but only to test a clinical observation of SC expansion at the location of collector channel ostia.
Newer Schlemm's canal surgery involves insertion of stents into the canal to bypass the trabecular meshwork [ 12, 13]; proper placement of stents in relation to Schlemm's canal collector channel ostia is likely to be important to success of the procedures.

Canaloplasty is a new non-penetrating glaucoma method using a 360° microcatheter dilation of Schlemm canal and a tension suture to restore the normal aqueous outflow pathway through Schlemm canal and the collector channels.
