  • Patent number: 8197541
    Abstract: The invention relates to an accommodative lens implant controlled by the ciliary muscle, consisting of at least one or more lenses made of preferably biocompatible material and disposed on a common optical axis, the at least one lens being a component of a flexible, closed implant body that is transparent in the region of the actual lens, is engaged at its outer periphery with the ciliary muscle, and has a main axis that coincides with the visual axis, and in addition at least part of the implant body with the lens or lenses comprises a fluid filling, such that the axial position of the lens or the lens system can be altered by activation of the ciliary muscle, the implant body being inserted in the sulcus of the posterior chamber of the eye or attached to the ciliary muscle.

At least part of the implant body with the lens or lenses includes a fluid filling, such that the axial position of the lens or the lens system can be altered by activation of the ciliary muscle, the implant body being inserted in the sulcus of the posterior chamber of the eye or attached to the ciliary muscle.

  • Patent number: 6227852
    Abstract: The invention concerns a dental mold tray for producing tooth casts by means of a hardenable mold mass, with a molding shell (10) adapted to the shape of the human upper or lower jaw, for the reception of the mold mass, so that the molding shell (10) can be separated into at least two parts for the non-destructive reception of the hardened mold mass bearing the tooth impression. The mold tray includes a saliva drainage device (64), which extends along the inside edge area turned toward the tongue and/or along the outside edge turned toward the cheek or lip and is removably connected with the outer and/or inner side wall (22, 16). For improved adaptation, an elastic and/or moldable insulation and balancing element (48) is provided, which during the casting process produces a fluid contact between the molding shell (10) and the membrane or gum.
