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 30):
An iris-expanding ring injector comprising:\n a handle having a distal end, a proximal end, an interior; a button coupled to the handle and configured to move between a first position and a second position; a cannula having:\n a proximal end coupled to the distal end of the handle, and \n an open distal end; \n a hook housed within the cannula when the button is in the first position, \n wherein, when the button is moved to the second position, the hook extends past the open distal end of the cannula, and is configured to grasp an iris-expanding ring, and \n wherein, when the button is moved to the first position, the iris-expanding ring grasped by the hook is transitioned into a collapsed configuration in the cannula.
