DEVICE FOR INJECTING AN INTRAOCULAR LENS INTO AN EYE

摘要

An injection assembly for a flexible intraocular lens, includes an injector body (1) accommodating a sliding push member (2), and a compaction and ejection chamber (3) rigidly connected to the injector body. The injection assembly includes a cartridge (6) receiving an intraocular lens (7) in a non-stressed state, the cartridge (6) being stored separately in a sterile container (32), and the compaction and injection chamber (3) is pivotably connected to the distal end of the injector body so as to be capable of occupying two positions, namely: a cartridge-loading position, in which the chamber is folded along the injector body, and an injection position, in which the chamber is aligned with the injector body. A tab (4) makes it possible to release the push member (2) when the tab is placed in a position for locking the compaction and injection chamber in a closed position on the injector body.

1. An injection device for a flexible intraocular lens, comprising an injector body (1) accommodating a sliding pusher (2), and a compaction and ejection chamber (3) rigidly connected to said injector body, characterized in that the compaction and injection chamber (3) is articulated on the distal end of the injector body (1) so as to be able to adopt two positions, on the one hand a position called the loading position, in which at least a part of the compaction and injection chamber is folded along the injector body transversely offset with respect to the longitudinal axis of the injector body (1) in such a way that a cartridge (6) containing an intraocular lens (7) in the non-stressed state can be loaded into the injector body along said longitudinal axis, and, on the other hand, a position called the injection position, in which the compaction and injection chamber (3) is locked in the continuation of said injector body.
