  • Patent number: 8702795
    Abstract: An intraocular lens insertion device (1) includes a main body (2), an operational portion (3) provided on an end (2a) of the main body (2), a knock mechanism (4) for moving the operational portion (3) forward and backward with respect to the main body (2), and a cartridge (5) attached to the other end (2b) of the main body (2) and serving as an insertion tube. The device is constructed, as a whole, such that the knock mechanism (4) moves the operational portion (3) repeatedly forward and backward so that an intraocular lens (6) placed in the cartridge (5) can be pushed out stepwise. The knock mechanism (4) is structured so as to move the operational portion (3) pushed forward toward a backward direction and automatically return it to an original position prior to the same being pushed forward.

  • Patent number: 8470032
    Abstract: There is provided an intraocular lens insertion device capable of more easily inserting an intraocular lens into an eye. An intraocular lens insertion device 1 comprises a main body 2, an operation portion 5 and a cartridge 4 attached to the main body 2. The operation portion 5 has a plunger 6 integrally provided thereon and serving as a transmitting member, and a rod 7 provided on a distal end of the plunger 6 and serving to push out the intraocular lens. The intraocular lens insertion device 1 further comprises a restraint portion 10, and thus allows the rod 7 to first push an intraocular lens 8 by a predetermined distance and then be temporarily stopped before the intraocular lens 8 is released from the cartridge 4 toward the outside.
