A biomedical device extraction assembly for performing an extraction procedure on a plurality of polymerized biomedical devices, the assembly comprising: a first biomedical device carrier (10, 110) for holding a plurality of polymerized biomedical devices during an extraction procedure, the carrier comprising: a substantially planar substrate having a first substrate surface, and a second substrate surface opposing the first substrate surface, the distance between the first substrate surface and opposing second surface defining a substrate thickness; a plurality of recesses (20, 120) extending from the first substrate surface and beyond the second substrate surface, each recess having a depth greater than the substrate thickness and being structured to accommodate a single polymerized biomedical device during an extraction procedure to remove an extractable component from the polymerized biomedical device; and at least one carrier spacing member structured to provide an inter-carrier distance when the first carrier is in contact with a second substantially identical carrier such that the second substrate surface of the first carrier is facing the first substrate surface of the second carrier; a second biomedical device carrier (10, 110) that is substantially identical to the first biomedical device carrier, the second carrier being in contact with the first carrier so that convex surfaces opposing concave surfaces of the recesses of the second carrier extend into the recesses of the first carrier to form cavities to accommodate polymerized biomedical devices; and a third biomedical device carrier (10, 110) that is substantially identical to the first biomedical device carrier, the third carrier being in contact with the second carrier so that convex surfaces opposing concave surfaces of the recesses of the third carrier extend into the recesses of the second carrier to form cavities to accommodate polymerized biomedical devices; wherein the inter-carrier distance is from about 3.05 mm (0.12 inches) to about 12.7 mm (0.50 inches). a first biomedical device carrier (10, 110) for holding a plurality of polymerized biomedical devices during an extraction procedure, the carrier comprising: a substantially planar substrate having a first substrate surface, and a second substrate surface opposing the first substrate surface, the distance between the first substrate surface and opposing second surface defining a substrate thickness; a plurality of recesses (20, 120) extending from the first substrate surface and beyond the second substrate surface, each recess having a depth greater than the substrate thickness and being structured to accommodate a single polymerized biomedical device during an extraction procedure to remove an extractable component from the polymerized biomedical device; and at least one carrier spacing member structured to provide an inter-carrier distance when the first carrier is in contact with a second substantially identical carrier such that the second substrate surface of the first carrier is facing the first substrate surface of the second carrier; a substantially planar substrate having a first substrate surface, and a second substrate surface opposing the first substrate surface, the distance between the first substrate surface and opposing second surface defining a substrate thickness; a plurality of recesses (20, 120) extending from the first substrate surface and beyond the second substrate surface, each recess having a depth greater than the substrate thickness and being structured to accommodate a single polymerized biomedical device during an extraction procedure to remove an extractable component from the polymerized biomedical device; and at least one carrier spacing member structured to provide an inter-carrier distance when the first carrier is in contact with a second substantially identical carrier such that the second substrate surface of the first carrier is facing the first substrate surface of the second carrier; a second biomedical device carrier (10, 110) that is substantially identical to the first biomedical device carrier, the second carrier being in contact with the first carrier so that convex surfaces opposing concave surfaces of the recesses of the second carrier extend into the recesses of the first carrier to form cavities to accommodate polymerized biomedical devices; and a third biomedical device carrier (10, 110) that is substantially identical to the first biomedical device carrier, the third carrier being in contact with the second carrier so that convex surfaces opposing concave surfaces of the recesses of the third carrier extend into the recesses of the second carrier to form cavities to accommodate polymerized biomedical devices; wherein the inter-carrier distance is from about 3.05 mm (0.12 inches) to about 12.7 mm (0.50 inches).
