Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for aiding the manipulation of animal corneas, in particular human corneas, and aims to optimize the preservation of corneal cells until the graft.
- the device according to the invention is introduced into the different flasks containing the liquid media used before a corneal transplant.
- the transplant of a cornea to a patient first requires its removal from a deceased person.
- the harvested cornea is then introduced by the surgeon into a first bottle containing a sample medium. It is then monitored under a microscope and then introduced into a second bottle containing a preservative liquid. Finally, a few hours before the transplant, a third bottle, containing a detergent medium, that is to say reducing the swelling of the cornea, is used.
- the cornea is freely deposited in the solution.
- the technique is to hold the cornea in suspension at the end of a thread that is attached to the periphery of the cornea by piercing it with a needle. This current technique has many disadvantages:
- EP-0262 766 discloses a corneal support device formed on the stopper of a vial. This device requires the use of modified specific bottles, the standard bottles are not adaptable to this system.
- the present invention aims to provide a device that does not reproduce the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the present invention is intended to provide such a device that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, assemble and use, while allowing the use of unmodified standard bottles.
- the subject of the present invention is therefore a device for aiding human cornea manipulation with a view to optimizing the conservation of corneal cells in different flasks and media used prior to corneal transplantation, characterized in that it comprises a support on which the cornea and a pull tab are deposited to hold and extract said support from the different flasks and media.
- said device is entirely independent of the bottles and / or their plugs.
- the cornea without being compressed, remains contained in a minimized space.
- the surfaces in contact with the cornea are minimized.
- the support is held by the pull tab so that the cornea is positioned above the bottom of the bottle, where stagnant degenerate cells, via support elements, such as feet.
- the support has at least one orifice which allows the light to pass directly on the cornea during the microscopic analysis.
- FIG. 1a is a top view of the cornea support according to one embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 1b is a sectional view along the line AA of FIG.
- FIG. 1a shows a sectional view along the line SS of FIG.
- FIG. 2a represents a view from above of the corresponding pull tab
- FIG. 2b represents a sectional view along line B-B of line 2a
- FIG. 2c represents a sectional view along line X-X of FIG. 2a
- FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the assembled device.
- the device comprises a support 1, having the shape of a wheel with spokes 2, and pierced at its center.
- the spokes 2 are inclined downwards (in the position of Figures 1b and 3) so as to center the cornea 11, and they preferably have a rounded profile to minimize the contact surface.
- the height of the support 1 is preferably Umite by that transparent sterile boxes in which it is introduced with the cornea during microscopic analysis, so as not to touch the cornea.
- the central hole 3 of the support 1 passes the light of the microscope and allows a direct sight on the cornea.
- a pull tab is provided to manipulate the support 1.
- This pull tab 9 can be removably attached to said support 1.
- two fastening clips 4 can be used to hold the support 1 on the pull tab 9.
- Other fastening means are also possible.
- the pull tab advantageously has feet 5 which are slid into notches 6 of the support 1, so as not to hinder the grip of the support. The feet are advantageously long enough to hold the support 1 above the bottom of the bottle, where stagnant degenerate cells.
- the pull tab 9 of the device of the invention may also have a wheel 7 with spokes 8 with a rounded profile to minimize the contact surface.
- the pull tab may comprise a rod 10 T-shaped, of suitable length and width standard bottles to allow to center the device at the neck of said bottle.
- the device of the invention is therefore advantageously completely independent of the bottles and / or their plugs, which allows the use of existing standard vials and usually used without the device of the invention. This is very profitable, since the use of modified specific bottles is avoided.
- the device is preferably made of plastic and can be manufactured in a single press injection molding operation.
- a metal device, or other materials, such as ceramics, are also conceivable.
- the device is preferably sterilized and disposable.
- the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for handling human corneas before transplantation.
- the device according to the invention facilitates handling, reduces the contact surfaces with the cornea and eliminates the tactile contacts. It allows in particular:
