Publication number: 20160193041Abstract: A vision correction system comprising an intraocular lens having a lens body and one or more haptics is provided. The lens body may be configured to be positioned posteriorly to an iris of an eye and may have a convex anterior surface, a concave posterior surface, and a circumferential edge having a rounded anterior portion and a rounded posterior portion. Haptics may extend at an anterior angle from the lens body and be configured to contact the ciliary sulcus of an eye. The haptics and/or hydrophobic forces between this lens body and a second intraocular lens may secure the lens body in the eye in a relatively fixed position and prevent rotation of the lens over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Applicant: University of Utah Research FoundationInventor: Randall J.

Patent number: 9283331Abstract: A hypodermic needle system and method for reducing the incidence of infections due to administering fluids by injection to humans or animals is provided. The hypodermic needle system may include a needle with an insert disposed within its hollow channel to substantially prevent bacteria, fungi and/or other organisms/contaminants, which may be present on the exterior surface to be penetrated, from adhering to the inner surfaces of the needle's channel or become trapped in the needle bore. The hypodermic needle system may include a film that covers at least one surface of the needle or insert, and/or have a bent or curved tip to reduce the ability of infectious agents to adhere to said surface/space within the needle. Additionally, the hypodermic needle system may include an anti-infection agent, such as an antibiotic or antiseptic to further reduce the incidence of infections, and may include an attachment member which reduces the risk of infection.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2011Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: University of Utah Research FoundationInventor: Randall J.

Patent number: 5156852Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a composition is provided with Vitamins C and E, zinc acetate, copper, selenium, manganese, and at least one of L-cysteine, pyridoxine, and riboflavin. The Vitamins C and E serve as antioxidants, while the zinc acetate, copper, selenium and manganese serve as cofactors for metalloenzymes which scavenge oxidizers. The remaining three compounds tend to enhance glutathione concentration. All the elements are provided in a tablet or caplet form which is suitable for oral ingestion. Preferably, the composition is taken periodically each day of a treatment period.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1991Date of Patent: October 20, 1992Assignee: La Haye Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Peter G.
