<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop an appliance for safely operating a surgery for a fragile case or a fracture case of the Zinn's zonule regarded as an intractable case among the cataract operation and the intraocular lens transplant surgery. <P>SOLUTION: This lens capsule equator retaining appliance is used for retaining the lens capsule equator section when a patient's Zinn's zonule is fragile or fractured in the cataract operation or the intraocular lens transplant surgery. This lens capsule equator retaining appliance is characterized in that the appliance is formed of a soft rod-shaped flexible synthetic resin having the thickness of 0.01 mm to 1.0 mm, the distal end is acutely bent, the length of the bend from the bending top to the distal end is 1.5 mm or more, the distal end of the bend is a linear or planar pad, the width of the pad is 1 mm or more in the linear shape or the plane area is 1 mm<SP>2</SP>or more in the planar pad, and the flexible synthetic resin is fixed or mounted on a rigid support rod. This lens capsule equator retaining appliance is used for securing the lens capsule equator part with the pad. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
