HAPTIC OPTIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM UTILIZING EDGE ROLLERS
Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) into an eye may be provided. In an exemplary aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a haptic optic management system. The haptic management system may include a housing that includes a bore and a cavity disposed in a first surface of the housing. The cavity may include a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion, wherein the cavity provides access to the bore through the first surface of the housing. The haptic management system may include arms coupled to the housing. The haptic management system may include edge rollers coupled to the housing.
INTRAOCULAR LENS INSERTION DEVICE
An insertion system for inserting an IOL int a patient's eye is provided. The insertion system includes a pusher and an introducer sheath with a back housing and a front housing. The front housing includes a longitudinally extending IOL rolling member with a proximal section, an intermediate section, a distal section and a longitudinally extending lumen defined by an upper face and a lower face. The lower face has opposing inner peripheral edges. The radius of curvature of the upper face and the lower face decreases from the proximal section to the distal section and the distance between the opposing inner peripheral edges decreases from the proximal section to the distal section.
Haptic Management for Surgical Implants
An apparatus for folding an intraocular lens or other implant before inserting it into an eye in various locations using variable surgical techniques. Some embodiments may comprise or consist essentially of a haptic folding mechanism configured to fold one or more haptics onto the top of an optic prior to the optic being folded into a nozzle. In some embodiments, a leading haptic lifter or lifting mechanism can be configured to elevate and constrain a leading haptic during implant delivery. This leading haptic folding mechanism can passively lift the leading haptic onto the top of the optic.
Intraocular lens storage and loading devices and methods of use
Intraocular lens loading devices and methods of use. In some embodiment the devices are used to sequentially splay first and second haptics while loading the intraocular lens into a delivery lumen.
Container system for heating an intraocular lens
The present invention relates to a container system (200) for storing an intraocular lens (90). The container system (200) comprises a container (210) for storing a lens (90) and a heating device (220) for heating the lens (90) in the container (210). A heated lens (90) is more supple and can be rolled up better and smaller, such that a cut opening in an eye can be further reduced.
IOL BASE COMPRESSION DEVICE HAVING AN IOL TOWING MECHANISM
An IOL base compression device having an IOL towing mechanism is described.
Haptic optic management system utilizing edge rollers
Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) into an eye may be provided. In an exemplary aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a haptic optic management system. The haptic management system may include a housing that includes a bore and a cavity disposed in a first surface of the housing. The cavity may include a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion, wherein the cavity provides access to the bore through the first surface of the housing. The haptic management system may include arms coupled to the housing. The haptic management system may include edge rollers coupled to the housing.
INJECTOR HAVING A HANDLE FOR CARRYING ALONG A FRONT AND A REAR DISPLACEMENT MECHANISM
An injector for inserting an intraocular lens into the capsular bag of an eye has an injector body; a plunger for displacing the lens out of the injector in an insertion direction, with the lens having an optic body with an optical axis and a rear and a front haptic; a rear mechanism for displacing an optic body distant longitudinal end of the rear haptic onto the optic body via a displacement of the plunger; a front mechanism for displacing an optic body distant longitudinal end of the front haptic along a front trajectory having a front component parallel to the optical axis; and a handle operable from outside of the injector and which has a first catch coupled to the plunger to carry along the plunger in the insertion direction via a longitudinal displacement of the handle and has a second catch to carry along the front displacement mechanism.
INTRAOCULAR LENS INJECTOR AND ITS DESIGN METHOD
There is provided an intraocular lens injector 1 that advances an intraocular lens 4 including an optical portion 41 with an optical function and support portions 42a and 42b that extend from the optical portion 41 through a tube while folding the lens, and emits the lens from a nozzle, wherein protrusions 15 are located at both the left and right corners at an upper side of an inner wall 30 of the tube, in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to an advancement direction of the intraocular lens 4, so that the protrusions 15 prevent the optical portion 41 and the support portions 42a, 42b from entering both the left and right corners, when the intraocular lens 4 is folded while advancing. Its related art is also provided.
IOL base compression device having an IOL towing mechanism
An IOL base compression device having an IOL towing mechanism is described.
