Filed:

Aug 15, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/639489

Inventors:

James Wright - Santa Barbara CA
Jim Deacon - Goleta CA
Hendrik S. Westra - Goleta CA

Assignee:

Computer Motion, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

A61B 1734

US Classification:

606185

Abstract:

An instrument guide that can compensate for surgical instruments that have different outer diameters. The instrument guide includes a shaft that has an inner channel adapted to receive a surgical instrument. The guide also has a leaf that can be deflected relative to the shaft to exert a spring force onto the instrument. The amount of leaf deflection is dependent upon the outer diameter of the surgical instrument.

Appl. No.:

10/006905

Inventors:

Jim Deacon - Goleta CA

Assignee:

Computer Motion, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

A61B 132

US Classification:

600202, 600215

Abstract:

A retractor with devices that allow a surgeon to control the amount of retractor force. The retractor may include a first blade and a second blade. The second blade can be moved by a gear mechanism. A torque measuring device, force measuring device and/or slip clutch may be coupled to the gear mechanism. The torque measuring device may have a readout that displays the amount of torque being applied by the surgeon to the retractor. The readout provides accurate feedback that allows the surgeon to gauge the amount of force being applied to the patient. Likewise the force measuring device may provide a visual indication of the actual force being applied by the retractor onto the patient. The slip clutch may actuate at a threshold torque to prevent an excessive exertion of force on a patient.

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

US Classification:

623 649

Abstract:

A foldable intraocular lens for providing vision contains an optic body that includes an optical zone and a peripheral zone entirely surrounding the optical zone. The optic body has an anterior face, a substantially opposing posterior face, an optic edge, and an optical axis. The anterior face comprises a central face, a peripheral face, and a recessed annular face therebetween that is disposed posterior to the peripheral face. The intraocular lens further comprises at least one haptic that is integrally formed with the peripheral zone. The haptic comprises a distal posterior face, a proximal posterior face, and a step edge disposed at a boundary therebetween. The haptic further comprises a side edge disposed between the optic edge and the step edge. The proximal posterior face and the posterior face of the optic body form a continuous surface. An edge corner is formed by the intersection of the continuous surface with the optic edge, the side edge, and the step edge.

US Classification:

623 512, 623 41, 623 511, 600587

Abstract:

A system for measuring the size of a capsular bag of an eye of a subject includes a size indicator and a sizing gauge. The size indicator is configured for insertion into a capsular bag and includes a peripheral portion and a pair of arms. The peripheral portion is configured to engage the capsular bag. Each of the arms has a proximal end and a distal end, the arms being joined to one another at the proximal ends. The peripheral portion is joined to the distal ends of the arms. The arms form an angle that depends on a size of the capsular bag into which the size indicator is placed. The sizing gauge has a body having a front surface, along with first and second features disposed along or behind the front surface. The features are configured to correspond to an angle that is within a predetermined range of angles of the arms of the size indicator when the size indicator is placed within a capsular bag.

US Classification:

623 512, 623 41, 623 511, 623 611, 600587

Abstract:

Implantation of an accommodating intraocular lens in an eye may require the accurate measurement of the size, circumference, or diameter of the capsular bag of the eye. A flexible ring or ring portion may be temporarily or permanently inserted into the capsular bag for measuring the circumference of the capsular bag, for example, after extraction of a natural lens from the capsular bag. The ring or ring portion is generally compressible to fit through a surgical incision, then expands to fill the capsular bag along an equatorial region. The ring or ring portion includes a central component that changes shape and/or angle as the ring or ring portion is compressed. The shape change is generally correlated to the size of the capsular bag and may be visually measured through the cornea, the measurement being generally independent of corneal magnification. The measurement may be used to determine or calculate information about the capsular bag such as its size, elasticity, accommodative range, and so forth.
