Abstract: An Anterior Capsule Remover (“ACR”) device allows an ophthalmologist to safely and efficiently remove an anterior portion of the lens capsule at the beginning of cataract surgery. The device allows the surgeon to safely, efficiently and consistently create a circular central opening of a predetermined diameter in the top of the lens capsule. An exemplary anterior capsule remover apparatus includes a handle and a distal shaft that holds a blade or cutter. One or more o-rings attached to a thumbwheel and to the blade allow the surgeon to easily create a circular, central opening in the anterior capsule of predetermined diameter.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices for dispensing media which include, inter alia, a dispenser body, a funnel-shaped cover and a mechanism for securing the cover in the closed position to facilitate the dispensing of media from the spout. The body of the dispenser has an elongated handle with proximal and distal ends and a scoop depending from the distal end of the handle. The funnel-shaped cover is attached to the body of the dispenser and includes an upper spout and a lower base. The cover is adapted for movement between an open position and a closed position; wherein in the open position the cover is spaced apart from the scoop and allows media to be placed into the scoop, and in the closed position, the cover is placed over the scoop such that when media is dispensed from the scoop it passes through the spout of the cover. Also disclosed is a device for dispensing media which includes, among other elements, an elongated handle, a scoop and a stopper arm.
