  • Patent number: 9849037
    Abstract: A patient interface for coupling an ophthalmological application head to an eye of a patient includes a patient-sided interface structure to be coupled to the eye of a patient, and a source-sided interface structure for rigidly coupling the patient interface to the application head or an intermediate element. The source-sided interface structure comprises a first source-sided patient interface coupler and a second source-sided patient interface coupler. The first source-sided patient interface coupler is designed to restrict the mobility of the patient interface relative to the application head or the intermediate element by providing a coupling with a first patient interface coupler counterpiece of the application head or the intermediate element.

  • Patent number: 9821143
    Abstract: An MR compatible steerable sheath with elastomeric member is provided. The elastomeric member is configured to serve as a reservoir and receive contrast media therewithin. The elastomeric member is positioned on the distal end of the steerable sheath and may circumferentially surround the sheath shaft or be offset from a longitudinal axis thereof. In operation, the contrast media allows a user to view the distal tip of the steerable sheath by virtue of the contrast media contained within the elastomeric member.
