Publication number: 20120207701Abstract: Formulations and methods for protecting cell layers and tissues exposed to trauma are disclosed. Different molecular mass fractions of the same polymer can be used to better control the physical and chemical properties of the formulation. In this manner the benefits of both fractions, and not just the benefits of the average of the fractions, can be seen in the formulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Inventors: Rolf Bergman, Maria Lundqvist, Stig Mannberg, Björn Lundgren, Robert Shimizu

Patent number: 8182088Abstract: A system for providing an intraocular lens includes a processor and a computer readable memory. The computer readable memory is configured to communicate with the processor, the memory having stored therein at least one of: one or more ocular dimensions, and at least one predetermined refractive outcome. The memory further includes a sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to select an intraocular lens, select a power of an intraocular lens, or provide an intraocular lens. The sequence of instructions includes determining one or more dimensions of an eye. The instructions also include calculating, based on a mathematical relationship, a distance from an apex of a cornea of the eye to an apex or plane of the intraocular lens after insertion into the eye. The instructions further calculating an optical power of the intraocular lens suitable for providing a predetermined refractive outcome.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2011Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Abbott Medical Optics Inc.Inventors: Sverker Norrby, Rolf Bergman

Patent number: 7811267Abstract: A kit is provided, which comprises a) a collagen patch and b) an adhesive composition comprising (i) fibrin, fibrinogen or a combination thereof, and (ii) a biocompatible polymer capable of forming a viscous aqueous solution. Also provided is use of the kit for the preparation of a sealing device for use in ophthalmic surgery to replace a natural lens which has been removed, in which sealing device the collagen patch of the kit is adapted to seal an opening in a capsular bag of an eye while admitting the entrance of an injection device through the opening for injection of a lens-forming material into the capsule; and in which sealing device the adhesive composition of the kit is adapted to be applied to the collagen patch so as to enable adhesion of the collagen patch to the capsular bag. Also provided are methods for sealing an opening in a capsular bag of an eye, in which methods the kit is employed.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2003Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: AMO Groningen B.V.Inventors: Sverker Norrby, Rolf Bergman, Jöns Hillborn
