IMPLANTATION DEVICE FOR DEFORMABLE INTRAOCULAR LENS

摘要

Surgical instrument for the implantation of a deformable intraocular lens in the human eye after a cataract operation consists of a cylindrical holder which can hold at the split distal end a rolled-up or folded lens. A concentric bush exerts a set compressive force on the lens when pushed over the distal end. The lens is ejected in the eye by pushing a rod with a collar at the proximal end until it contacts the collar on the cylinder. The pref. material is stainless steel or a medical grade of ABS.
