  • Publication number: 20080192783
    Abstract: An ophthalmological device (1) comprises a controllable optical correction element (14) for the variable modulation of the wavefront of deflected femtosecond laser pulses. A control module (13) controls the correction element (14) as a function of the deflection of the femtosecond laser pulses in such a way that the femtosecond laser pulses are focused into an image area, arranged around the optical axis (z) of the light projection module (11), on a defined treatment surface. It is possible by means of the adaptive and dynamic modulation of the wavefront of the deflected laser pulses for the laser pulses to be focused onto the treatment surface in an enlarged image area in conjunction with unchanged projection optics of the light projection module (11) such that the image field is enlarged in conjunction with an unchanging compact design of a light projection module (11) suitable for manual application.

  • Patent number: 7150754
    Abstract: Proposed are a scalpel blade holder and a scalpel with a scalpel blade holder, which make it possible for a user to determine the rotation of the scalpel about the center axis of the scalpel blade holder without eye contact with the scalpel or with the scalpel blade. The handle region of the scalpel blade holder comprises three lateral faces which are disposed such that a cross-section with a substantially triangular envelope results for the handle region. The envelope of the cross-section of the handle region has substantially the form of an arc triangle whose corners are rounded. A plurality of tactile identifying features are designed as protrusions in the form of ribs extending over two of the lateral faces and running crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the scalpel blade holder. One of the tactile identifying features is designed as a recess, and is disposed on the remaining third lateral face, and extends over part of the length of the scalpel blade holder.
