Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging assembly comprising a package and an injector for inserting an intraocular lens into the capsular bag of an eye. Background Art

[0002] In cataract treatment, a small incision is typically made in the cornea, large enough to allow the tip of an injector to be inserted through it. Once the incision has been made, the lens is immediately pulverized, for example by phacoemulsification, and then aspirated from the capsular bag. An intraocular lens (IOL) is then inserted into the eye. During this procedure, the IOL is folded so that it fits through the tip of the injector. The tip is inserted through the incision into the capsular bag, and the injector's piston pushes the folded IOL through the tip into the capsular bag, where it unfolds and replaces the original lens. Before the injector can be used, it must be prepared. To this end, the injector's piston must be moved to a position that allows the IOL to be moved from its stored state (in which it is essentially free of mechanical tension) into the tip of the injector and folded. Before cataract treatment is performed, movement of the piston and therefore of the IOL out of the storage state must be avoided, since prolonged storage of the IOL in the folded state may lead to irreversible deformation of the IOL. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a packaging assembly comprising a packaging part and an injector, wherein the packaging assembly can be used to avoid irreversible deformation of an intraocular lens arranged in the injector.

[0004] A packaging assembly according to the present invention includes a package and an injector configured to insert an intraocular lens into the capsular bag of an eye. The injector comprises an injector housing having an injector opening through which the intraocular lens can be removed from the injector in an insertion direction; a proximal end disposed opposite the injector opening; and a piston mounted in the injector housing for longitudinal movement in the insertion direction and configured to move the intraocular lens toward the injector opening. The package has a transport state and a use state, and further comprises a package distal portion and a package proximal portion. In the transport state, the proximal portion is arranged differently relative to the distal portion than in the use state. The package comprises a driver mounted on the package distal portion and coupled to the piston, such that movement of the injector housing relative to the package distal portion in a direction opposite to the insertion direction causes the piston to move toward the injector opening. In the transport state, movement of the injector housing relative to the package distal portion in a direction opposite to the insertion direction is limited by the package proximal portion. The package is designed such that movement of the injector housing relative to the distal portion of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction is performed or effected by bringing the package from the transport state into the use state.

[0005] Since the injector housing is restricted from moving in a direction opposite to the insertion direction in the transport state, the piston cannot move the intraocular lens towards the injector opening. Therefore, the intraocular lens will not be folded in the transport state, which could cause irreversible deformation of the intraocular lens. The injector housing can only be moved in a direction opposite to the insertion direction when the package is put into use from the transport state. For example, this can be done by putting the package into use from the transport state or by manually moving the injector housing relative to the distal part of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction in the use state. Since the package has a drive, it is advantageous that no additional component with a drive is required. In order to prepare the injector for cataract treatment, it is always necessary to remove the injector from the package. In the packaging assembly according to the present invention, this automatically causes the piston to move towards the injector opening. This can advantageously save a step when preparing the injector for cataract treatment.

[0006] Preferably, the proximal portion of the package has a base of the proximal portion of the package and a protuberance of the proximal portion of the package, the protuberance protruding upwards from the base of the proximal portion of the package and being designed so that in the transport state the proximal end abuts the protuberance of the proximal portion of the package, thereby limiting the movement of the injector housing relative to the distal portion of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. Alternatively or in addition, it is conceivable that the proximal portion of the package has a stop protuberance protruding upwards from the base of the proximal portion of the package and being designed so that in the transport state a part of the injector other than the proximal end abuts the stop protuberance, thereby limiting the movement of the injector housing relative to the distal portion of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. The part of the injector other than the proximal end can be, for example, a handle of the injector.

[0007] Preferably, the package proximal portion is pivotally attached to the package distal portion, so that the package can be moved from a transport state to a use state by pivoting the package proximal portion relative to the package distal portion, wherein, in the use state, movement of the injector housing relative to the package distal portion in a direction opposite to the insertion direction is not restricted by the protrusion and / or the stop protrusion of the package proximal portion. Thus, in the use state, movement of the injector housing relative to the package distal portion in a direction opposite to the insertion direction is possible.

[0008] Alternatively, the proximal portion of the package may be pivotally attached to the distal portion of the package; preferably, the proximal portion of the package is movably attached to the distal portion of the package. The injector has a protrusion that protrudes laterally from the injector relative to the insertion direction, wherein the protrusion of the proximal portion of the package is designed and / or the proximal portion of the package has a further protrusion of the proximal portion of the package, the further protrusion being designed such that when the proximal portion of the package is moved away from the distal portion of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, the protrusion of the proximal portion of the package and / or the further protrusion of the proximal portion of the package abut against the protrusion, with the result that the protrusion of the proximal portion of the package and / or the further protrusion of the proximal portion of the package drives the protrusion and thus the injector housing in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. The protrusion may be, for example, a thumb rest of the injector that is to be contacted by the thumb of one hand in order to move the piston in the insertion direction. In another example, the protrusion may be a handle of the injector.

[0009] Preferably, the package includes a bellows, via which the proximal portion of the package is movably mounted on the distal portion of the package. Alternatively or additionally, preferably, the package includes a web having a first longitudinal end secured to the distal portion of the package and a second longitudinal end mounted on the proximal portion of the package, wherein the web is more flexible in a transport state than in a use state. Thus, the package can be moved from a transport state to a use state by deforming the web. Alternatively or additionally, the distal portion and the proximal portion of the package form a sliding bearing, via which the proximal portion of the package is movably mounted on the distal portion of the package.

[0010] Preferably, the base of the proximal portion of the package and the raised portion of the proximal portion of the package define a proximal recess, wherein the proximal end is arranged in the proximal recess in the transport state. The proximal recess can be accessible in an installation direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. Therefore, to assemble the packaging assembly, the injector can be inserted into the proximal recess in the installation direction.

[0011] Preferably, the distal portion of the package comprises a distal base of the package and a ridge of the distal portion of the package, the ridge protruding upward from the distal base of the package, wherein the distal base of the package and the ridge of the distal portion of the package define a distal recess, wherein, in the transport state, the distal end of the injector, opposite the proximal end, is arranged in the distal recess. The distal recess may be accessible in the installation direction. Thus, to assemble the packaging assembly, the injector may be inserted into the distal recess in the installation direction.

[0012] Preferably, the injector housing has a housing opening, through which the driver extends into the interior of the injector housing in the transport state and is coupled to the piston there. In particular, the housing opening can be arranged spaced apart from the injector opening.

[0013] Preferably, the packaging assembly comprises an intraocular lens which is arranged in a storage state within the injector housing. In particular, the intraocular lens in the storage state is substantially free of mechanical stress and / or unfolding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] As from Figures 2 to 4 As can be seen, the packaging assembly 1 includes a packaging member 2 and an injector 3, which is configured to inject an intraocular lens 4 (see Figures 7 to 9 ) is inserted into the capsular bag of the eye. Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 7 to 9 The injector 3 is shown to have an injector housing 9 with an injector opening 5 (see Figures 7 to 9 ), the intraocular lens 4 can be moved out of the injector 3 along the insertion direction 6 of the injector 3 through the injector opening. In addition, the injector 3 has a proximal end 15 arranged opposite to the injector opening 5 (see Figures 1 to 9 ), and piston 7 (see Figures 7 to 9 ), the piston is mounted in the injector housing 9 so as to be longitudinally movable in the insertion direction 6 and is configured to move the intraocular lens 4 in the direction towards the injector opening 5, in particular to move the intraocular lens in the insertion direction 6 towards the injector opening 5. The package 2 has a transport state (see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 ) and usage status (see Figure 3), and also has a package distal part 21 and a package proximal part 22, which in the transport state is arranged differently relative to the package distal part 21 than in the use state. The package 2 has a drive 20 (see Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 7 to 9 ), which is mounted on the package distal part 21 and is coupled to the piston 7 so that the piston 7 can be moved in the direction of the injector opening 5 by moving the injector housing 9 relative to the package distal part 21 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6. In the transport state, the movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the package distal part 21 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6 is limited by the package proximal part 22. The package 2 is designed so that the movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the package distal part 21 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6 is performed by bringing the package 2 from the transport state into the use state (see Figures 4 to 6 ) or be carried out (see Figures 1 to 3 ). It is conceivable that the packaging assembly 1 has an intraocular lens 4, which is arranged in the storage state in the injector housing 9. In particular, the intraocular lens 4 in the storage state can be substantially free of mechanical stress and / or unfolding.

[0016] Figures 2 to 4 It is shown that the injector 3 can have a thumb rest 11 which is contacted by the thumb of one hand when the piston 7 is moved in the direction of the injector opening 5. The thumb rest 11 can form the proximal end 15. In addition, Figures 2 to 4 As can be seen, the injector 3 may have a handle 10 to be gripped by fingers of the hand other than the thumb during movement of the piston 7. The handle 10 may be spaced apart from the proximal end 15 and spaced apart from the injector opening 5 in the insertion direction 6.

[0017] Figures 1 to 6 It is shown that the package proximal part 22 may have a base 30 of the package proximal part 22 and a ridge 32 of the package proximal part 22, which ridge protrudes upward from the base 30 of the package proximal part 22 and is designed so that in the transport state, the proximal end 15 abuts the ridge 32 of the package proximal part 22, so that the movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the package distal part 21 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction 6 is restricted. Alternatively or additionally, as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, it is conceivable that the proximal portion 22 of the package has a stop ridge 36 that protrudes upward from the base 30 of the proximal portion 22 of the package and is designed so that, in the transport state, a component of the injector 3 other than the proximal end 15 abuts the stop ridge 36, thereby limiting the movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the distal portion 21 of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6. The component of the injector 3 other than the proximal end 15 can be, for example, the handle 10.

[0018] Figures 1 to 3 The package proximal portion 22 is shown pivotally mounted on the package distal portion 21 so that the package 2 can be moved from one side to the other by pivoting the package proximal portion 22 relative to the package distal portion 21. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transport status shown is entered Figure 3 In the use state, the movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the package distal part 21 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction 6 is not limited by the ridges 32 and / or the stop ridges 36 of the package proximal part 22 . Figures 1 to 3 The package 2 is shown to have a film hinge 24, by means of which the package proximal part 22 is pivotably mounted on the package distal part 21. However, other joints are also conceivable, such as joints in which a pin engages in a sleeve and is rotatably mounted in the sleeve. After the package 2 has been pivoted from the storage state to the use state, a movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the package distal part 21 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6 is possible because the protuberance 32 of the package proximal part 22 no longer blocks the proximal end 15 and / or the stop protuberance 36 no longer blocks components other than the proximal end 15, in particular the handle 10; compare Figure 3 .

[0019] Figures 4 to 6It is shown that the package proximal part 22 can be mounted on the package distal part 21 so as to be movable in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6, in particular longitudinally, and the injector 3 can have a protrusion that protrudes from the injector 3 laterally relative to the insertion direction 6. The ridge 32 of the package proximal part 21 can be designed so that when the package proximal part 22 is moved away from the package distal part 21 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6, the ridge 32 of the package proximal part 22 abuts against the protrusion and drives the protrusion and thus the injector housing 9 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6. The protrusion can be, for example, the thumb rest 11. Alternatively or additionally, the package proximal part 22 may have a further bulge 33 of the package proximal part 22 which is designed such that when the package proximal part 22 is moved away from the package distal part 21 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6, the further bulge 33 of the package proximal part 22 abuts against the projection and drives the projection and thus the injector housing 9 in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6. In this case, the projection may be formed, for example, by the handle 10; see Figure 4 Alternatively or additionally, the projection can in this case be formed by the thumb rest 11 .

[0020] The package 2 may have a bellows 25 (see Figure 4 ), the package proximal part 22 is movably arranged on the package distal part 21 by means of the bellows. In the transport state, the bellows 25 can be in its compressed state, and in the use state, the bellows 25 can be in its stretched state.

[0021] Figure 5 The package 2 is shown as possibly having a connecting strap 27 having a first longitudinal end fastened to the package distal portion 21 and a second longitudinal end disposed on the package proximal portion 22, wherein the connecting strap 27 is more bendable in the transport state than in the use state. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the package 2 has an additional connecting strap 28 having a first longitudinal end fastened to the package distal portion 21 and a second longitudinal end disposed on the package proximal portion 22, wherein the additional connecting strap 28 is more bendable in the transport state than in the use state. For example, by grasping the package distal portion 21 with one hand and the package proximal portion 22 with the other hand, and then moving the two hands away from each other, the connecting strap 27 and, optionally, the additional connecting strap 28 can be deformed and the package can be brought from the storage state into the use state.

[0022] Figure 6It is shown that the package distal part 21 and the package proximal part 22 form a sliding bearing, by means of which the package proximal part 22 is movably mounted on the package distal part 21. For example, for this purpose, the package 2 can have a sliding protuberance 41 delimiting an interior space and a slide 43 arranged longitudinally movably in the interior space. For example, as Figure 6 As shown, the sliding ridge 41 can be arranged on the package proximal portion 22, and the slider 43 can be arranged on the package distal portion 21. Alternatively, the sliding ridge 41 can be arranged on the package distal portion 21, and the slider 43 can be arranged on the package proximal portion 22. In addition, it is conceivable that the package 2 can have an additional sliding ridge 42 that defines an additional interior space and an additional slider 44 that is longitudinally movably arranged in the additional interior space.

[0023] The package distal part 21 may have a pin 47 and optionally a further pin 48 which, in the stored state, abuts the package proximal part 22 and thus limits movement of the package proximal part 21 relative to the package distal part 22 in the insertion direction 6; see Figure 6 It is conceivable that the package proximal part 22 has a corresponding recess 45, 46 for each of the pins 47, 48. Alternatively, the package proximal part 22 can have a pin and optionally a further pin which, in the stored state, abuts the package distal part 22 and thus limits the movement of the package proximal part 21 relative to the package distal part 21 in the insertion direction 6. It is conceivable that the package distal part 21 has a corresponding recess for each pin.

[0024] Figures 1 to 6 It is shown that the base 30 of the package proximal portion 22 and the ridge 32 of the package proximal portion 22 can define a proximal recess 35, wherein Figure 2 and Figure 4 It is shown that in the transport state the proximal end 15 can be arranged in the proximal recess 35. The proximal recess 35 can be accessible in a mounting direction perpendicular to the insertion direction 6. Thus, to assemble the packaging assembly 1, the injector 3 can be inserted into the proximal recess 35 in the mounting direction. Figures 1 to 6The package distal portion 21 is also shown to have a base 29 of the package distal portion 21 and a raised portion 31 of the package distal portion 21 that projects upward from the base 30 of the package distal portion 21. The base 29 and raised portion 31 of the package distal portion 21 define a distal recess 34, in which the distal end 16 of the injector 3, located opposite the proximal end 15, is disposed in the transport state. The distal recess 34 can be accessible in the installation direction. Thus, to assemble the package assembly 1, the injector 3 can be inserted into the proximal recess 35 in the installation direction. It is conceivable that the raised portion 31 of the package distal portion 21 forms an interference fit with the end region of the injector 3, wherein the end region has the distal end 16. For example, the interference fit can be formed such that a force of less than 5 N is required to remove the end region from the package 2. Figures 7 to 9 It is also shown that the injector opening 5 may be arranged at the distal end 16 .

[0025] Figures 7 to 9 It is shown that the injector housing 9 can have a housing opening 12, through which the driver 20 extends into the interior of the injector housing 9 in the transport state and is coupled there to the piston 7. The housing opening 12 can be arranged separately from the injector opening 4.

[0026] The package distal portion 21 may have a groove 23 with an undercut (see Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 ), the driver 20 is inserted into the groove so as to fix the driver 20 to the package distal portion 21. Alternatively, the driver 20 can be glued to the package distal portion 21 and / or welded (see Figure 5 ), and / or the driver 20 may be formed as a protrusion from the distal portion 21 of the package.

[0027] Figures 7 to 9 It is shown that the injector 3 can have an additional piston 8, which is mounted in the injector housing 9 so as to be longitudinally movable, in particular in the insertion direction 6. The piston 7 and the additional piston 8 can be in a decoupled state (see Figure 7 ) or connection status (see Figure 8 and Figure 9 ), in the decoupled state, the piston 7 and the further piston 8 can move longitudinally relative to each other, in the coupled state, the piston 7 and the further piston 8 are rigidly coupled to each other in the insertion direction 6, and the total longitudinal range of the piston 7 and the further piston 8 in the insertion direction 6 is longer than in the decoupled state. Figure 7The injector 3 is shown in the uncoupled state. By moving the piston 7 toward the injector opening 5 due to a movement of the injector housing 9 relative to the distal portion 21 of the package in a direction opposite to the insertion direction 6, the piston 7 and the further piston 8 enter the coupled state and the intraocular lens 4 can enter the folded state; see Figure 8 Subsequently, when the injector 3 is arranged outside the packaging 2, the piston 7 and the further piston 8 can be moved together in the insertion direction 6, so that the intraocular lens 4 can be removed from the injector 3 via the injector opening 5; see Figure 9 For this purpose, the thumb rest 11 can be attached to the additional piston 8. By providing the additional piston 8, the injector 3 can be shorter than if only the piston 7 is provided.

[0028] As from Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the injector 3 can have a lock 17 having a locked state, in which the movement of the further piston 8 in the insertion direction 6 is restricted, and an unlocked state, in which the movement of the further piston 8 in the insertion direction 6 is not restricted. For example, the lock 17 can have a ring, which is arranged on the outside of the further piston 8 and on the outside of the injector housing 9 and is configured to abut against the injector housing 9 in the locked state. In order to bring the lock 17 into the unlocked state, the ring can be removed from the further piston 8.

[0029] Figures 7 to 11 It is shown that the further piston 8 can have a cavity and that the piston 7 can be arranged longitudinally displaceably in the cavity in the decoupled state. Figure 10 and Figure 11 It is shown that the piston 7 can have a piston protrusion 13 and the further piston 8 can have a piston recess 14, wherein the piston protrusion 13 is configured to be arranged outside the piston recess 14 when the piston 7 and the further piston 8 are in the decoupled state (see Figure 10 ), and, in order to bring the piston 7 and the further piston 8 into a coupled state, the piston protrusion is configured to engage in the piston recess 14 when the piston 7 moves towards the injector opening 5 (see Figure 11 ).also, Figure 10 and Figure 11 It is shown that the piston 7 can have an additional piston protrusion 13a, and the additional piston 8 can have an additional piston recess 14a, wherein the additional piston protrusion 13a is configured to be arranged outside the additional piston recess 14a when the piston 7 and the additional piston 8 are in the decoupled state (see Figure 10 ), and in order to bring the piston 7 and the further piston 8 into a coupled state, the further piston projection is configured to engage in the further piston recess 14a when the piston 7 moves towards the injector opening 5 (see Figure 11).

[0030] It is conceivable that the package 2 includes a film (not shown in the figures) which, in the storage state, is attached to the distal and proximal package portions 21, 22 and, together with the distal and proximal package portions 21, 22, forms a closed package cavity in which the injector 3 is arranged. After the film has been removed from the distal and proximal package portions 21, 22, it is conceivable to wet the intraocular lens 4 with a saline solution and / or an ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD). This can be done, for example, via the housing opening 12 or via an opening in the injector housing 9 that is distinct from the housing opening 5. Thereafter, it is conceivable to move the package 2 from the transport state to the use state.
