  • Injector having a handle for carrying along a front and a rear displacement mechanism
    Patent number: 11974912
    Abstract: An injector for inserting an intraocular lens into the capsular bag of an eye has an injector body; a plunger for displacing the lens out of the injector in an insertion direction, with the lens having an optic body with an optical axis and a rear and a front haptic; a rear mechanism for displacing an optic body distant longitudinal end of the rear haptic onto the optic body via a displacement of the plunger; a front mechanism for displacing an optic body distant longitudinal end of the front haptic along a front trajectory having a front component parallel to the optical axis; and a handle operable from outside of the injector and which has a first catch coupled to the plunger to carry along the plunger in the insertion direction via a longitudinal displacement of the handle and has a second catch to carry along the front displacement mechanism.
