  • Patent number: 10743761
    Abstract: A modular lens adapter system or kit is provided for mobile anterior and posterior segment ophthalmoscopy. Equipped with various lens adapter modules, respective lenses and a mobile imaging device, a user is provided with tools for various mobile ophthalmoscopy imaging applications. Eye care practitioners can use their existing lenses to customize the modular lens adapter system in a cost-effective way, which allows for mobile and remote capture, viewing, and utilization of clinical images. The various modules are also adaptable to nearly any type of phone or tablet regardless of its dimensions or presence of a protective case. The invention also addresses the need for fewer, smaller, less expensive, and easier to use ophthalmic imaging equipment, which is further important in enabling a broad base of users.

  • Patent number: 6652684
    Abstract: The glue-on tissue mount is a device to hold small and/or irregular-shaped biologic tissue so tissue can be manipulated, cut, trimmed, split or divide for transplant and reconstructive surgery. Biologic tissue is quickly mounted onto an acrylic mount with fast-bonding cyanoacrylate glue. On the mount tissue can be held firmly. The tissue can be cut on the mount like on a cutting board or dissected into layers. The mount can rest on flat surfaces and be used with an operating microscope or held between fingers. The glue-on tissue mount has a spherical acrylic mounting surface 12 or flat acrylic mounting surface 14 upon which the tissue is glued. The size and shape of the tissue determines if a spherical or flat mount is used. The mounting surface is attached to a cylindrical base 10 that is easily held. If the glue adhesion breaks the tissue can be anchored with sutures tied to the eyelets in the hexagonal footing of the base 10.
