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 35):
An iris-expanding device injector assembly comprising:\n a handle having a distal end, a proximal end, an interior, and a length; a slider configured to move between the distal end and the proximal end of the handle; a cannula having:\n a proximal end coupled to the distal end of the handle, and \n an open distal end; \n an arm having a contacting end that contacts an iris-expanding device, wherein the arm and the contacting end are housed within the cannula when the slider is in a first position towards the proximal end of the handle, wherein, when the arm and the contacting end are housed within the cannula, the iris-expanding device is in a collapsed configuration in the cannula, and wherein, when the slider is moved to a second position towards the distal end of the handle, the contacting end of the arm extends beyond the open distal end of the cannula and transfers the iris-expanding device beyond the open distal end of the cannula into an expanded configuration.
