Abstract:
A ring that can maintain a pupil in an extended position during an ophthalmic procedure. The ring has a plurality of loops that capture iris tissue. The ring is configured to extend the pupil when iris tissue is inserted into each loop. An ophthalmic procedure such as phacoemulsification can then be performed on the patient. The ring has a center opening that provides a wide view of the ocular chamber during the procedure.

Claim (Index 22):
An iris-expanding device injector assembly comprising:\n a handle having a first end, a second end, an interior, and a length; a slider coupled with the handle and configured to slide with respect to the handle; a cannula coupled with the first end of the handle and having an open end spaced from the first end of the handle, the cannula configured to slide in to and out from a holder containing an iris-expanding device; a hook connected to the slider, the hook configured to:\n extend into the holder in response to sliding the slider in a first direction; \n grasp the iris-expanding device contained in the holder; and \n pull the iris-expanding device into the open end of the cannula in response to sliding the slider in a second direction, \n wherein pulling the iris-expanding device into the open end of the cannula causes the iris-expanding device to transition to a collapsed configuration in the cannula.
