Abstract: The present invention is a device for rolling, storing and inserting into an eye an extremely thin intraocular lens (IOL). The device performs as a roller and injector. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the lens rolling device. The chamber for rolling the intraocular lens includes curved walls, a hollow chamber, and a funnel for receiving a plunger, and a port for extruding a rolled lens. The IOL is effectively rolled by engaging the two parts of the rolling device. After rolling, the lens is ejected from the device through a cannula and into an eye.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for automatically measuring systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure. Two cuffs, one located closer to the heart (proximal) than the second (distal), are provided. Each cuff is attached to a small manifold which has three ports. One port is connected to the cuff, one port is connected to a pressure sensor, and the last port is connected to a valve to a high pressure air source. Throughout blood pressure monitoring, a constant mass of air is maintained within the cuff by inflating the cuff and closing the cuff valve. The sensors are connected to a microcomputer so that the static pressure component and the dynamic pressure component of cuff pressure can be stored and plotted. Mean arterial pressure is read from both distal and proximal cuff sensors. Diastolic blood pressure is determined by recording the proximal static cuff pressure at which a maximum dynamic distal amplitude is observed.
