Abstract: A cover that protects a tip of a surgical instrument. The tip can be placed within a housing of the cover. The housing has openings on each end that allow sterilization fluid to flow across the tip during an autoclave procedure. The tip can be placed on a handle of the cover. The handle can be rotated relative to the housing to allow for the easy insertion and removal of the tip from the cover.

Abstract: An apparatus for controllably delivering an IOL into the eye of a patient is disclosed. The device is configured for convenient and reliable positioning of a plunger rod assembly at different stages of the IOL injection procedure, such that various aspects of the insertion procedure can be performed precisely and reliably by a user of the device. The present invention may include a latch pin and a latch finger configured for engagement with the latch pin to prevent proximal lateral movement of the plunger rod assembly so that the intra-ocular lens may be accurately positioned within the eye. The device assists the user during the procedure by accurately and consistently positioning the plunger rod assembly prior to ejection of the folded or rolled IOL from the insertion device.
