Patent number: 10172706Abstract: Intraocular lens inserters and methods of use are disclosed. An example intraocular lens inserter may include an interior assembly having a movable member disposed therein. The movable member is movable in response to a pressure of a compressed gas. In response to the pressure of the compressed gas, the moveable member pressurizes a substantially incompressible fluid. The pressurized substantially incompressible fluid is used to advance a plunger. The plunger advances an intraocular lens through a lumen for insertion into an eye.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Jack Robert Auld, John Christopher Huculak, Matthew Douglas McCawley, Matthew Braden Flowers, James Lescoulie

Patent number: 10085883Abstract: An articulating optical surgical probe includes a handle sized to fit in a single hand and a single rigid cannula extending from the handle having a diameter of 20 Ga or less. The probe further includes a slotted tip at a distal end of the cannula and at least one optical fiber extending through the handle, the single rigid cannula and the slotted tip, and a pull-wire secured to the slotted tip. When the pull-wire exerts tension on the slotted tip, the slotted tip will deviate from straight to a bend angle controlled by the tension in the pull-wire. The slotted tip is formed from a resilient material that will restore to the straight position when the tension exerted by the pull-wire is released.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Alcon Research, Ltd.Inventors: Jack Robert Auld, Christopher McCollam, Xiaoyu Yu
