Patent number: 12257146Abstract: An ophthalmosurgical injector includes a cannula, a barrel, an outer plunger mounted in the barrel and together with the barrel delimiting a barrel cavity arranged in the barrel, and into which an intraocular lens can be introduced, and an inner plunger mounted in the outer plunger and together with the outer plunger delimiting an outer plunger cavity arranged in the outer plunger and into which a liquid can be introduced. The injector is configured such that a first movement, executed by the inner plunger relative to the outer plunger such that the outer plunger cavity becomes smaller, causes the liquid to flow from the outer plunger cavity into the barrel cavity, and a second movement, executed by the outer plunger relative to the barrel such that the barrel cavity becomes smaller, causes the intraocular lens to be pressed out of the barrel cavity and into the cannula.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Carl Zeiss Meditec AGInventor: Thorben Badur

Publication number: 20250032244Abstract: A method for producing an ophthalmological device includes providing a tube transparent to electromagnetic radiation, filling the tube with a liquid which is curable with electromagnetic radiation, introducing a first component into the tube, supplying the first component to a tomographic printing apparatus with a laminar flow, creating and/or providing a data record made of images of a second component, tomographically printing the curable liquid in the tube with electromagnetic radiation using as starting point the created and/or provided data record for forming the second component, the creation and/or provision of the data record and the tomographic printing being implemented such that the second component is arranged on the first component and/or at least partially encloses the latter, and removing the first and second components arranged thereon from the at least one tomographic printing apparatus with a laminar flow. In addition, an arrangement for producing an ophthalmological device is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Michael Thaller, Benjamin Schreiber, Thorben Badur, Francesca Nicoli, Jennifer-Magdalena Masch, Hristina Srbinoska

Publication number: 20240350254Abstract: An ophthalmic implant has at least one marker element, wherein the at least one marker element is designed to provide information for the machine-based identification and/or characterisation of the ophthalmic implant and information for the machine-based determination of an orientation of the ophthalmic implant. The marker element is arranged in and/or on the ophthalmic implant such that the information for identifying and/or characterising the ophthalmic implant and/or the information for the machine-based determination of the orientation of the ophthalmic implant is intraoperatively and/or postoperatively machine-readable.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: October 24, 2024Applicant: Carl Zeiss Meditec AGInventors: Jennifer-Magdalena Masch, Karsten Laubner, Thomas Lang, Benjamin Schreiber, Thorben Badur

Publication number: 20230414316Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmological implant (100) with an optically imaging element (110), a digital product identifier (130) being arranged on the optically imaging element. The invention additionally relates to a corresponding method for producing the implant and to a machine reading system (200) for detecting and decoding the digital product identifier. The aim of the invention is to provide an ophthalmological implant and a method for producing same, said method allowing a unique and complete product identifier and a check thereof using simple means at any point in time. This is achieved by an ophthalmological implant with a digital product identifier (130) which is implemented by means of an encoded point grid (135) of identifier points (57), said point grid being machine-readable in the visible light range and having one irregular semi-random character.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Mario Gerlach, Benjamin Schreiber, Jennifer-Magdalena Masch, Thorben Badur, Andre Wolfstein
