<p>The intraocular lens (IOL) fixation device includes an elongate handle (12) having a slender, elongate neck (14) extending therefrom. The neck terminates at a head (16) section. The head section includes a rotator (20), upon which a plurality of radiating vacuum holding legs (30) extends outward, the end of each leg having a suction cup (34) attached thereto. The legs and the suction cups include hollow channels that communicate with a source of vacuum in order to facilitate gripping of the IOL. Upon insertion of the IOL and proper placement of the head over the IOL, activation of vacuum firmly holds the IOL through the suction cups. The rotator is rotated to accurately align the IOL within the capsular bag. The IOL fixation device also includes irrigation means for selective irrigation of the target area.</p> |
