Filed:

Nov 4, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/434838

Inventors:

Gaston J. Levesque - Meriden CT
David F. Sutton - Milford CT

Assignee:

Becton, Dickenson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

A61F 900

US Classification:

606166, 606167, 606107

Abstract:

A keratome includes a cutting instrument having a cutter head with a reciprocating blade and a cutting edge extending below a sole surface of the cutter head; an automated drive unit mounting the cutting instrument for powered translational movement of at least the cutter head thereof, and a suction ring including an eye ring adapted to be secured to an eye by suction and defining a cornea aperture for presenting the outer layer of the cornea of the eye for cutting. The suction ring has a shoe from which the eye ring extends, the shoe defining a cutting guideway configured for receiving the cutter head in precision mating sliding engagement when the cutting edge of the blade is positioned over the cornea aperture of the eye ring, and an entrance guideway extending from and generally aligned with the cutting guideway, the entrance guideway configured for receiving the cutter head in orienting sliding engagement and positively positioning the cutter head for precision mating sliding engagement with the cutting guideway. The automated drive unit and the suction ring are configured for releasable attachment when said cutter head is received in the entrance guideway of the suction ring. The automated drive unit is operable to slidingly translate the cutter head into the cutting guideway and to withdraw the cutter head therefrom.

International Classification:

A61M 31/00

US Classification:

604517, 604285

Abstract:

Implantable drug delivery devices are provided lo have a deployment shape for implantation in the body and a retention shape for retention in the body. The device may have one or more elongated drug reservoirs containing a drug, mid the drug reservoir may be formed from a deformable material. In one case, a first filament is attached to the first end of the drug reservoir and second filament is attached to the second end of the drug reservoir, wherein a fastener is positioned about the first and second filaments to permit shortening and prevent lengthening of the filaments with reference to the ends of the daig reservoir, as a means for transforming the device from the implantation shape to the retention shape.
