Abstract: An example lens delivery device is provided. The lens delivery device can include a body comprising a channel therethrough. A first interference portion can be located within the channel. A plunger can be configured to receive a user-supplied force to move the plunger axially through the channel of the body. The plunger can include a second interference portion, located along a length of the plunger, configured to interact with the first interference portion during the axial movement of the plunger to form a damping mechanism to maintain a specified resistance to the user-supplied force.

Abstract: An example lens management device can include a sleeve, a modular cartridge configured to house a lens, and a tray configured to transition from a first position to a second position. The tray can include a first tray component configured to removably hold the modular cartridge, and a second tray component movably attached to the first tray component. The modular cartridge can be configured to house the lens in a third position when the tray is in the first position, and in a fourth position when the tray is in the second position, the fourth position being distal to the third position. Transitioning the tray from the first to the second position causes the sleeve to enter into the modular cartridge such that the distal tip of the sleeve is positioned to engage with the lens and move the lens from the third position to the fourth position.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided an applier for a surgical device and method that provides automated ejection of the device and gives the surgeon use of the applier with one operative control. The applier includes a handle, a tube movable relative to the handle, and an ejector shaft driven by a force element for ejecting the device. It may include a cap called a bullet nose or probe tip. The cap may have a tapered distal surface to ease entry into small otomies in tissue. Using a button or knob to move the tube automatically triggers the ejector shaft to eject the device when the tube is in the correct position.
