The present invention is an intraocular lens insertion device used to insert an intraocular lens into an aphakic eye after cataract surgery, or used to insert a phakic intraocular lens in refractive surgery. The present invention relates to an intraocular lens insertion instrument.
In cataract surgery, removal of a turbid lens by ultrasonic emulsification and aspiration (PEA) and implantation of an intraocular lens in the eye after removal of the lens are widely performed. The intraocular lens includes a hard intraocular lens whose optical part is made of a hard material such as PMMA, and a soft intraocular lens made of a soft material such as silicone elastomer and soft acrylic. When using a hard intraocular lens, an incision with the same width as the diameter of the optical part must be made in the cornea or sclera and the lens must be inserted, whereas when using a soft intraocular lens Can be inserted from an incision smaller than the diameter of the optical part by folding the optical part. In order to reduce corneal astigmatism and infection after surgery, it is preferable that a lens is inserted through a small incision, and at present, a soft intraocular lens tends to be preferred. In order to put the lens into the eye, a dedicated injector having a structure for introducing the lens into the eye through an elongated tube may be used. By using such an injector dedicated to an intraocular lens, it is possible to insert a lens from an incisional wound smaller than 3 mm.
More recently, in order to eliminate the possibility of contamination by bacteria when handling the lens and the possibility of operational errors that may occur when handling the lens, preset injectors in which the lens is set in the injector in advance have been released. In preset injectors, in order to shift from the fixed state of the lens at the time of shipment to the operating state of the lens at the time of use, there is a mechanism that holds the optical part inside without stress, and a position that can be extruded by the extrusion mechanism Some have a lens moving mechanism for moving them (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, as a method for stably installing a lens in an intraocular lens insertion device, an intraocular lens insertion device that is used by holding the lens in an unstressed state and pushing the lens with a plunger positioned coaxially with the lens. Is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 3).

The rear holding portion 22b is integrally provided with an inclined surface 24 that rises toward the front of the lens traveling axis A.
The lens pushing mechanism 6 comprises a plunger 25 for inserting the lens 2 into the eye and a slider 26 for performing an initial operation for inserting the lens 2.
The slider 26 has a contact portion 27 that contacts the lens 2 in a larger area than the plunger 25, a guide groove 28 that supports the plunger 25 along the lens traveling axis A, and a notch provided in the main body 5. It comprises a wing 29 that engages with the groove 10 and supports the slider 26 along the lens traveling axis A, and a grip 30 that pushes and returns the slider 26.
The abutment portion 27 is formed by a part of an arc having a radius of curvature substantially the same as the outer diameter of the lens 2, and is in smooth contact with the lens 2 without causing local stress on the lens 2. The initial operation can be performed.
The guide groove 28 is formed in substantially the same shape as the outer shape of the plunger 25 in parallel with the lens traveling axis A.
The plunger 25 is arranged to be slidable in the guide groove 28 and so that the tip of the plunger 25 can protrude from the contact portion 27. The guide groove 28 may be a through hole formed in parallel with the lens traveling axis A.
The wing portion 29 engages with the notch groove 10 to hold the slider 26 at the approximate center of the main body 5 and to move the slider 26 along the lens advancing axis A.

The wing 29 of the slider 26 is engaged with the notch groove 10 of the main body distal end portion 7, and the slider 26 is inserted into the main body distal end portion 7 from the proximal end side. Next, the main body base end portion 8 is loosely inserted from the base end side of the main body front end portion 7. At the same time, while pushing the slider 26 with the main body base end portion 8, the main body base end portion 8 is pushed in until the stopper 11 formed at the main body front end portion 7 engages with the stopper receiving portion 12 provided at the main body base end portion 8. In this way, the slider 26 is attached to the main body 5. Also, the plunger 25 is inserted into the guide groove 28 formed in the slider 26, and the intraocular lens insertion instrument 1 is assembled.
Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. First, the lens 2 is installed on the main body 5. That is, the lens 2 is inserted into the lens installation part 3 through the opening 20 and placed between the front holding part 22a and the rear holding part 22b (FIG. 4A). In order to keep the installed lens 2 in a sterile state, the opening 20 is closed with a cover member 31 and sealed as shown in FIG. In this way, the lens 2 can be installed on the main body 5. Next, the grip portion 30 is operated to move the slider 26 forward along the lens traveling axis A. When the slider 26 is moved forward, the contact portion 27 reaches the inclined surface 24 (FIG. 4B). When the contact portion 27 reaches the inclined surface 24, the resistance force generated in the slider 26 increases. When the slider 26 is moved further forward against the resistance force, the slider 26 pushes down the inclined surface 24 (FIG. 4C). When the slider 26 pushes down the inclined surface 24, the support member 23 is elastically deformed downward about the fulcrum portion B (FIG. 4C). When the support member 23 is elastically deformed downward, the holding member 22 is released downward, which is substantially perpendicular to the lens traveling axis A. When the holding member 22 is released downward, the contact portion 27 contacts the lens 2. When the contact portion 27 contacts the lens 2, the lens 2 is pushed out. The slider 26 pushes out the lens 2 until the contact part 27 reaches the taper part 9. When the lens 2 is pushed out, the lens 2 is folded by the tapered portion 9 and the lens 2 reaches the cylindrical portion 4. The lens 2 that has reached the tube portion 4 can be inserted into the eye in a folded state by being pushed out by the plunger 25.
With the above configuration, the lens 2 can be held without applying a load to the lens 2 by the holding member 22 and without being deformed when not in use. Furthermore, when the slider 26 is moved, the resistance of the slider 26 increases when the slider 26 reaches the inclined surface 24, so that an operation error can be prevented. In addition, since the lock mechanism 21 can be released simply by moving the slider 26 against the resistance force generated by the inclined surface 24 in use, the lens 2 can be inserted with a simple configuration and operation. In addition, after the lens 2 is installed, it is possible to shift to a use state while maintaining a sealed state, so that contamination by bacteria can be prevented and a high hygiene state can be maintained.
As described above, the intraocular lens insertion device 1 according to this embodiment includes the main body 5 including the lens installation portion 3 in which the lens 2 is installed and the cylindrical portion 4 into which the lens is introduced, and the lens installation portion 3. In the intraocular lens insertion device 1 provided with a lens push-out mechanism 6 that pushes out the formed lens 2, the lens installation section 3 has a lock mechanism 21 that fixes the lens 2, and the lock mechanism 21 is a lock mechanism. Since it is configured to be released by moving or deforming 21 or the lens 2, it can be released by moving or deforming the lock mechanism 21 or the lens 2, and the lens 2 can be pushed out more easily and safely. it can. Further, when not in use, the lens 2 can be held safely by the lock mechanism 21 without causing malfunction.
In addition, since the lock mechanism 21 is released by moving the lens push-out mechanism 6 in the lens direction, the lock mechanism 21 can be released by a series of operations for pushing out the lens 2, so that it can be operated more easily.
Further, since the lock mechanism 21 is provided so as to be movable or deformable in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the lens advancing axis A pushed out by the lens push-out mechanism 6, the lock mechanism can be reliably released. The lens 2 can be pushed out easily and safely.
The lock mechanism 21 includes a holding member 22 that is provided around the lens 2 and holds the lens 2 and a support member 23 that supports the holding member 22. Therefore, the lock mechanism 21 can hold the lens 2 with a simple configuration. Since the lock mechanism 21 can be reliably released, an operation error can be prevented.
Further, the support member 23 is provided in the lens installation portion 3 so as to be elastically deformable, and is configured such that the lock mechanism 21 is deformed by the operation of pushing out the lens 2 by the lens push-out mechanism 6. Yes. In addition, since it is possible to reliably prevent forgetting to release, the usability can be further improved.
The lens pushing mechanism 6 includes a plunger 25 for pushing the lens 2 and a slider 26 having a lens contact portion 27 larger than the plunger 25 and performing an initial operation for inserting the lens 2. The lock mechanism 21 is deformed by the operation of the lens 26 pushing out the lens 2, and the lens 2 is brought into surface contact with the lens 2 so that the initial operation can be smoothly performed without applying local stress to the lens 2. Deformation can be prevented.
Next, a modified example of the lens push-out mechanism 6 having the above configuration will be described. The lens push-out mechanism 6 according to this modification includes a plunger 25 and a slider 26, and the plunger 25 and the slider 26 are provided so as to be interlocked with each other. The plunger 25 is disposed in the guide groove 28 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction of the lens traveling axis A. The plunger 25 has a recess 25a on the circumference. The slider 26 is provided with a guide groove 28 provided along the traveling axis of the lens 2, and a convex portion 28 a that engages with the concave portion 25 a in the guide groove 28.
The operation of the lens pushing mechanism 6 configured as described above will be described. The plunger 25 can move independently until the concave portion 25a is engaged with the convex portion 28a (FIG. 5A). When the plunger 25 is moved forward, the concave portion 25a engages with the convex portion 28a. When the concave portion 25a is engaged with the convex portion 28a, the slider 26 moves forward in conjunction with the plunger 25 (FIG. 5B). When the slider 26 moves forward together with the plunger 25, the contact portion 27 reaches the inclined surface 24. When the contact portion 27 reaches the inclined surface 24, the slider 26 pushes down the inclined surface 24. When the slider 26 pushes down the inclined surface 24, the holding member 22 is released downward. When the holding member 22 is released downward, the contact portion 27 contacts the lens 2. When the contact portion 27 contacts the lens 2, the lens 2 is pushed out. When the lens 2 is pushed out, the lens 2 is folded by the tapered portion 9 and the lens 2 reaches the cylindrical portion 4. At this time, the slider 26 comes into contact with the tapered portion 9 and is restrained. When the slider 26 comes into contact with the tapered portion 9, the concave portion 25a is disengaged from the convex portion 28a, so that the engagement between the slider 26 and the plunger 25 is disengaged, and the plunger 25 can be moved independently. When the plunger 25 is moved forward, the lens 2 moves from the tapered portion 9 to the cylindrical portion 4 and is pushed out from the main body 5.
By configuring in this way, the operator can smoothly perform the initial operation of deforming the lens 2 by the slider 26 only by moving the plunger 25 forward, making the operation easier and making an operation mistake. Can be prevented. The convex portion 28a and the concave portion 25a are provided when the plunger 25 and the slider 26 are interlocked with each other and have the shape and strength necessary for pushing down the support member 23, and when the slider 26 reaches the tapered portion 9. It is desirable to provide flexibility that can be reliably released without causing breakage.
As described above, in the intraocular lens insertion device 1 according to this embodiment, the plunger 25 and the slider 26 push the lens 2 in conjunction with each other. A series of operations until the lens 2 is pushed out by 25 can be performed more smoothly.
Next, another modified example of the lens pushing mechanism 6 in the above configuration will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the structure similar to the said Example, and description is abbreviate | omitted for simplicity.
The intraocular lens insertion device 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the lock mechanism 21 can be released by an operation of fixing the lens 2 with the lock mechanism 21 and moving the lens push-out mechanism 6 forward.
The locking mechanism 21 is provided in a symmetrical manner with respect to the lens traveling axis A, and is provided on the proximal end side of the holding member 22 so as to narrow the passage of the plunger 25 toward the distal end. And an inclined surface 24. The lock mechanism 21 holds the lens 2 above the plunger 25 so as to be orthogonal to the lens travel axis A, and is fixed to the inner surface of the main body 5 so as to be elastically deformable at a fulcrum portion (not shown).
The lens pushing mechanism 6 includes a widened portion 35 that abuts on the inclined surface 24 and pushes the holding member 22 left and right, and a plunger 25 that pushes out the lens 2. The widened portion 35 and the plunger 25 are integrally formed. The plunger 25 is widened so that the tip of the plunger 25 is positioned between the optical part 2a of the lens 2 and the loop 2b, and comes into contact with the lens 2 when the locking mechanism 21 is released by the widening part 35. It is formed so as to protrude from the portion 35.
Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. The lens push-out mechanism 6 is moved forward with the lens 2 placed on the lock mechanism 21. When the lens pushing mechanism 6 is moved forward, the widened portion 35 comes into contact with the inclined surface 24. When the widened portion 35 comes into contact with the inclined surface 24, resistance is applied to the force that moves the lens pushing mechanism 6 forward. When the lens pushing mechanism 6 is moved forward against the resistance, the widened portion 35 pushes the inclined surface 24 left and right. When the widened portion 35 pushes the inclined surface 24 left and right, the holding member 22 spreads left and right around the fulcrum portion. When the holding member 22 spreads left and right, the lock mechanism 21 is released and the lens 2 becomes free. When the lens push-out mechanism 6 is further moved forward, the plunger 25 comes into contact with the lens 2 and the lens 2 can be pushed out.
With this configuration, the lock mechanism 21 can be released only by moving the lens push-out mechanism 6 forward, and the lens 2 can be pushed out, so that the operation can be performed smoothly. Further, since the plunger 25 is formed so as to be positioned between the optical portion 2a of the lens 2 and the loop 2b, the operation of pushing out the lens 2 can prevent the loop 2b from being damaged.
Note that the plunger 25 may be configured to be movable in the front-rear direction relative to the widened portion 35. In this case, the widened portion 35 is provided with a contact portion 27 constituted by a part of an arc having a radius of curvature substantially the same as the outer diameter of the lens 2, and the lens 2 is locally brought into contact with the lens 2 by surface contact. The initial operation may be performed without applying any stress. Of course, the widened portion 35 and the plunger 25 may be installed so as to be interlocked with each other.
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The lock mechanism 21 according to this embodiment has a function of holding the lens 2 and fixing the lens push-out mechanism 6 at the same time.
The locking mechanism 21 removes a holding member 22 that holds the lens 2, a fixing member 41 that fixes the slider 26, a cap member 42 that protects the tip of the main body 5, and a support member 23 that supports them. And a handle 43 for the purpose.
The holding member 22 is composed of a front holding portion 22a material 22 and a rear holding portion 22b material 22 made of a columnar or wall-like member erected around the lens 2. In particular, the rear holding portion 22b is preferably a wall-like member having a surface area larger than the cross-sectional area of the plunger 25 in order to prevent the plunger 25 from popping out due to an operation error.
The slider 26 includes a contact portion 27, a guide groove 28, a wing portion 29, a grip portion 30, a fixing hole 44 to be inserted into the fixing member 41, and a loop guide 45 for the loop 2b of the lens 2. Is formed. The loop guide 45 fixes the lens 2 by the loop 2b of the lens 2 being hooked.
As shown in FIG. 8, a through hole into which the holding member 22 and the fixing member 41 are inserted is formed in the main body distal end portion 7. Further, an opening 20 is formed on the surface of the main body distal end portion 7 to which the lock mechanism 21 is mounted, and the opening 20 is provided with a cover body 46 that can be opened and closed. At this time, the lens 2 is held coaxially with the lens pushing mechanism 6.
A procedure for installing the lens 2 in the intraocular lens insertion instrument 1 will be described. First, the lens 2 is inserted from the opening 20. The lens 2 is installed in the lens installation section 3 through the loop 2b of the inserted lens 2 through the loop guide 45 (FIG. 8). When the lens 2 is installed, the cover body 46 is closed and the opening 20 is closed. When the opening 20 is closed, the lock mechanism 21 is mounted from above. That is, the lock mechanism 21 is attached to the main body 5 by inserting the cap member 42 into the tip of the main body 5, inserting the holding member 22 into the through hole, and inserting the fixing member 41 into the fixing hole from the through hole. The Thus, the lens 2 is held by the holding member 22, and the loop 2b is hooked on the loop guide 45, and the slider 26 is fixed by the fixing member 41 and the plunger 25 is fixed by the rear holding portion 22b. Therefore, the lens push-out mechanism 6 can be prevented from popping out due to an operation error. In addition, since the tip portion is protected by the cap member 42, it is possible to prevent damage due to breakage or adhesion of foreign matter.
In use, the support member 23 can be detached from the main body 5 by lifting the handle 43. At the same time that the support member 23 is removed from the main body 5, the holding member 22 can move from the through hole in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lens traveling axis A to release the lock and shift to the use state.
As described above, in the intraocular lens insertion device 1 according to the present embodiment, since the lock mechanism 21 is detachably provided in the lens installation portion 3, the lock mechanism 21 can be released with a simple configuration. The pushing operation of the lens 2 can be easily performed.
In addition, the lock mechanism 21 includes a latching means 41 that latches and fixes the lens pusher mechanism 6 in a state where the lens pusher mechanism 6 is in contact with the lens 2. Since this also serves as a function of holding, the configuration can be simplified and the operation can be easily performed.
The locking mechanism 21 according to the intraocular lens insertion instrument 1 shown in FIG. 9 includes a latching means 51 for fixing the lens push-out mechanism 6 and a fixed shaft member 52 for fixing the lens 2 from the front.
As shown in FIG. 10, the hooking means 51 includes a projecting portion 53 and a tab 54 that is a support member for supporting the projecting portion 53. As shown in FIG. 11, the latching means 51 inserts a protrusion 53 into a lock hole 55 provided in the lens push-out mechanism 6 through a through hole formed in the main body 5 to cause the lens push-out mechanism 6 to move.
