Abstract: The present invention provides a holder for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The holder is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device and/or packaging the device. In a preferred embodiment, the holder supports the device along the haptics thereof such that the optics remain untouched and unobstructed by the holder. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken, and the device may be safely packaged and shipped with the holder.

Abstract: A method involves providing a monomer mixture comprising a biomedical device-forming monomer and a UV absorbing agent; and exposing the monomer mixture to an electron beam to cure the monomer mixture.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fixture for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The fixture is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device. In a preferred embodiment, the fixture supports the device along the periphery of the posterior optic thereof such that the haptics and anterior optic extend freely therefrom. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken.

Abstract: A surgical instrument having a cutting end which includes a pair of grooves to provide a structure having a pair of opposed flanges. The back of the surgical instrument has a back channel. A pair of cutting edges are provided on the surgical instrument. The cutting edges are generally offset and parallel with respect to each other. A method for forming a channel in a femoral condyle of a knee joint of a person, and a method for reconstructing an anterior cruciate ligament of a knee joint of a person. The methods comprise using the surgical instrument in an inside-out fashion, as opposed to an outside-in fashion, in order to cut a trough into a femoral condyle.
