Description

SURGICAL LASSO DEVICE DESIGNED FOR SUTURELESS SCLERAL
INTRAOCULAR LENS FIXATION
Technical Field
The invention relates to a surgical lasso device designed for sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation.
Description of the Art
For the eyes with no posterior capsular support, the intraocular lens implantation may be performed via various methods. These may include the placement of the lens in the anterior chamber, iris fixation lenses, sutured lens placement in the sclera or iris and the sutureless lens fixation to the sclera via scleral tunnel.
One of the known methods for the sutureless lens fixation to the sclera includes entering the eye from the sclera with a needle in the form of a tunnel, introducing the lens haptic into said needle and externalizing and fixating the same. Another method involves using a trocar cannula and grasping and externalizing the lens haptic via this trocar with the help of a microforceps.
Object of the Invention
The object of the invention is to achieve the sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation without introducing the lens haptic into the needle and without using a trocar when performing the sutureless lens fixation to the sclera via scleraf tunnel for the intraocular lens implantation for the eyes with no posterior capsular support.
Brief Description of the Invention
According to the method described herein, the lens haptic is externalized and placed in the sclera in a sutureless manner by the use of a lasso, which is located at the end of a pointed needle, is able to enter and exit via a mechanism and is thus able to grasp the haptic of the intraocular lens.
The surgical lasso device designed for the sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation comprises a main body and a needle at the end of the main body, said needle having a thin, pointed or blunt tip, being straight or curved or angled and having a diameter of approximately 0.2-0.6 mm. Inside the needle, there is present a material made from a substance with shape memory (polyol, nitinol or a similar substance), said material reciprocating as linked to the mechanism in the main body and having an annular lasso at the end thereof.
As the trigger mechanism in the main body moves forward, the lasso at the end of the needle protrudes from the tip of the needle. While the lasso is in a state positioned at the tip of the needle, it is passed around the lens haptic and clamped, the trigger mechanism in the main body is moved backwards, and the lasso is pulled inside from the tip of the needle together with the lens and is moved outside the sclera along with the needle. While outside, the lasso is loosened to release the lens haptic.

Description of the Invention
The invention is a surgical lasso device designed for the sutureless scleral intraocular lens fixation comprising a cylindrical main body (1), a straight or curved needle (2) with a thickness of 0.2-0.6 mm having a pointed or blunt tip, a thin material (3) with shape memory having a cylindrical structure made from polyol, nitinol or a similar substance, a trigger mechanism (4), an annular lasso (5) and a button (6) (Figure-1).
Inside said needle (2), there is present a very thin materia! (3) with shape memory made from polyol, nitinol or a similar substance, said material reciprocating as linked to the trigger mechanism (4) in the main body (1), wherein there is present an annular lasso (5) at the end of said material (3) (Figure-1 , Figure-2).
When the trigger mechanism (4) in the main body (1 ) is moved forward via the button (6) to which it is connected, the thin material (3) moves forward inside the needle (2) and thus the lasso (5) at the end of the same also moves forward to protrude from the tip of the needle (2) (Figure-1). When the button (6) is moved backwards, the thin material (3) moves backwards inside the needle (2) and thus the lasso (5) at the end of the same also moves backwards to enter via the tip of the needle (2) (Figure-2). During the operation, the eye is entered via the needle (2), the lasso (5) at the end of the thin material (3) is passed around the haptic of the lens (7) and is clamped (Figure-3, Figure-4). Then the button (6) is moved backwards, thus the lasso (5), together with the lens clamped in the same, is retracted into the needle (2) (Figure-5) and is moved outside the sclera along with the needle (2). While outside, the lasso (5) of the thin material (3) is loosened to release the haptic of the lens (7).
