Rapid Access Vitreal Injection Guide

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide an injection guide for stabilizing an injection site located on an ocular structure during an intravitreal injection. The injection guide includes a first flange positioned opposite a second flange. The first and second flanges can hold portions of the ocular structure away from the injection site. The injection guide can include a handle coupled to the second flange and positioned away from the injection site to provide a substantially unobstructed view of the injection site and the ocular structure. A base plate can be positioned between and coupled to the first and second flange. The base plate includes an aperture or a notch positioned a predetermined distance from an edge of the base plate to provide 360 degree access to the injection site. The base plate can include a tamponade surface configured to tamponade the ocular structure after the intravitreal injection.
