  • Patent number: 10912939
    Abstract: An electroporation device for injecting a product into a ciliary muscle of an eye, said device comprising: a support having a support contact surface extending along a virtual sphere having a radius between 10 and 15 mm, so as to match the outside surface of the eye, a first electrode comprising an invasive electrode needle, a second electrode having an electrically conductive electrode contact surface, optionally an injection needle, wherein the support comprises an insertion guide configured to guide a sliding of said electrode needle and/or injection needle along a respective insertion axis, so that the angle between said insertion axis and a plane tangential to the virtual sphere at the insertion point is less than 40°, the insertion point being the point where said insertion axis crosses said virtual sphere.

  • Patent number: 9750635
    Abstract: An injection device for injecting a product into an eye, said device comprising an injection needle and a support on which the injection needle is fixed, said device being characterized in that it comprises a locating mark disposed in such a way that the latter can be placed in contact with a defined bearing region of the surface of the eye, before any contact of the injection needle with said surface, and can then be kept in contact with said bearing region during a stage of penetration of said injection needle through said surface of the eye.
