Abstract:
The present patent request refers to a utility model for an iris expansion ring which conjugates the functions of iris expansion and pupil dilation on patients that will be subjected to ophthalmic surgeries, and also permits implantation e withdrawal with a single incision. Handling of the present device spares accessory incisions to the ocular globe as well as the use of injector for its insertion, also displaying an alternated indents structure and low thickness that renders the whole implantation process easier.

Claim (Index 1):
1 - IRIS EXPANSION RING FOR CATARACT SURGERY WITHOUT INJECTOR a ring ( 1 ) predominantly circular-shaped with a higher diameter ( 2 ) in the center of its latitudinal section and higher height ( 3 ) in the center of its latitudinal section, displaying an opening ( 7 ) in its inferior section; characterizes by an opening ( 7 ) sided by hook-shaped support points ( 8 ) in each of its inferior extremities, one to five, preferably three inferior structures ( 5 ) for fitting to the iris edge, triangular-shaped and displaying an orifice ( 6 ) for ring manipulation, three to six, preferably four superior structures ( 4 ) for fitting on top of the iris, rectangular-shaped and displaying an orifice ( 6 ) for ring ( 1 ) manipulation. Those superior structures ( 4 ) alternate along the circumference with the inferior structures ( 5 ), which are smaller than the superior ones ( 4 ). The planes containing the superior structures are parallel among themselves, the same occurring with the inferior structures ( 5 ), also parallel among themselves; these parts are distanced to create a socket for iris accommodation; the internal diameter of the ring ranges from 5 to 8 mm, preferably 6.3 mm, and its height ranges from 0.2 to 1.1 mm, preferably 0.6 mm.
