  • Publication number: 20260108347
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an assembly operable with an intraocular lens (IOL) injection device. The assembly includes an electric motor and a control device. The electric motor is configured to generate rotational motion and includes a stator and a drive shaft. The stator or the drive shaft is removably couplable to an adjustment knob of the IOL injection device. The control device is communicatively coupled to the electric motor and is configured to control operation of the electric motor. The stator or the drive shaft is configured to rotate the adjustment knob relative to a body and a plunger rod of the IOL injection device in response to the rotational motion.

  • Patent number: 9566074
    Abstract: A surgical system for cutting tissue of a patient includes an outer housing and a reciprocating assembly structurally configured to carry a cutting tool in a reciprocating motion. An actuator knob is manually accessible to the user and may be fixed axially to the outer housing. The reciprocating assembly may reciprocate relative to the actuator knob. The actuator knob may be configured for rotational movement between a lock position and an unlock position. The system may also include a locking mechanism configured to retain a cutting tool within the reciprocating assembly. The locking mechanism may be responsive to movement of the actuator knob to maintain the tool within the output shaft when the actuator knob is in the lock position and permit removal of the tool when the actuator knob is in the unlock position. Surgical cutting tools, such as blades include thickness enhancing features.
