Manual intraocular lens injector, single-use

Intended purpose

A sterile, hand held, manual ophthalmic surgical instrument designed to expel (launch) a prepared folded intraocular lens (IOL) from an attached IOL insertion cartridge into the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye during ophthalmic surgery. Commonly known as a handpiece, this device is used to carefully exert pressure on the prepared IOL to push it out of the IOL insertion cartridge. It is typically made of plastic materials and has a central plunger that is activated by a precise mechanism (eg a screw thread) and has a mechanism at the distal end to hold/grip the insertion cartridge. This is a single-use device.
