Abstract: An injector for ejecting an intraocular lens for injecting the latter into an eye or for implanting a corneal endothelial tissue, including an elongate injector body which has a piston rod passage and in which an injector piston rod having a screw thread is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner. The injector is provided with two operating modes for the displacement of the injector piston rod and is able to be switched between the modes. The first operating mode defines an ejection operation and the second operating mode defines a screwing operation. The injector body has at least one retractable and deployable wing grip, wherein the operating mode is set to ejection operation by the deployed position and the operating mode is set to screwing operation by the retracted position. The injector piston rod includes a stop element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for receiving an intraocular lens, comprising a first and a second half-shell which are connected to each other in an articulated manner by a first joint and which can be moved relative to each other from an open position into a closed position. The half-shells form an open chamber in the open position and an enclosed chamber in the closed position. A covering element is pivotally arranged on the longitudinal side of the first of the two half-shells covering the open chamber in the open position and being positioned substantially outside of the enclosed chamber in the closed position. A movable or pivotal stopper can be provided which delimits the open chamber in the ejection direction of the lens in the open position and is positioned substantially outside of the enclosed chamber laterally to the ejection passage in the closed position.

Abstract: A cassette (11) consists of a cassette body (13) with a space (19) for receiving an intraocular lens (IOL) (12) and a lid (23) for closing the cassette body. The cassette body (13) has openings (17a, 17b) on opposing side walls, wherein an injector piston (20) can penetrate through the opening (17b) and displace an IOL (12), which is received in the receiving space (19), out of the receiving space through the opening (17a). The cassette lid (23) seals the cassette body (13) hermetically from the environment. Coupling means, which allow the cassette body (13), which is closed by the lid, to be fastened to an injector (31), are provided on the cassette body (13). The cassette (11) can be inserted into the aperture (39) of an injector (31) in the closed state. For injecting the lens (12), which is received in the receiving space (19), the cassette (11) can be made to pivot into an injection position.

Abstract: The loading device to load a lens folding cartridge with an intraocular lens comprises a support with a seat to receive the still empty lens folding cartridge. To guide and hold the lens folding cartridge a cylindrical opening is provided which encloses the back portion of the injecting nozzle. In addition a groove is provided holding the wing. Through the cylindrical opening a hook extends outward. If the lens folding cartridge is inserted into the device the hook extends through the injector nozzle into the front part of the half shell. Now the lens is put on the lens folding cartridge in such a way that the leading haptic can be caught by the hook and that the trailing haptic rests in the notch. The operating surgeon finds the device together with the lens folding cartridge and the lens in this condition and packed in a sterile packing. For use he takes the device from the packing and rotates the wing until it engages in the snap device. The lens is now folded.
