Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ophthalmic cataract surgery, in particular to a cataract surgery capsulorhexis with adjustable capsulorhexis diameter. Background Art

[0002] "Phacoemulsification + intraocular lens implantation" is the mainstream surgical method for treating cataracts. A key step in this operation is "anterior capsulotomy". Among them, the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) technique, with its smooth capsule opening, enhances the anti-tension force of the capsular bag. The force generated by the phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in the capsular bag will be evenly distributed along the smooth capsule opening, thereby reducing or even avoiding the radial tearing of the capsular bag. This technology has become the mainstream technical form in the anterior capsulotomy technique. With the introduction of the new concept of refractive cataract surgery, on the basis of 3C, it is also required that the capsulotomy opening is concentric with the center of the pupil, so that the capsulotomy opening is centered, that is, the 4C concept (central continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis). The 4C principle can maximize the guarantee of the intraocular lens (IOL) being fixed in the center, delay the occurrence of post-cataract, prevent micro-oscillation of intraocular tissue, and also contribute to the implantation effect of various high-end intraocular lenses such as multifocal and astigmatism correction.

[0003] Clinically, most continuous circular capsulotomy techniques rely on manual operation by the surgeon using capsulotomy forceps. Achieving the 4C standard requires a lot of practice, and manual operation with capsulotomy forceps may fail for novices. Although femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery capsulotomy can achieve the ideal 4C standard, the equipment maintenance cost is high, and the cost to the hospital and patients is high. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery also requires the use of phacoemulsification equipment. The two devices are not integrated, and the surgical process needs to be performed separately, which also brings extra steps to the patient and the surgeon and prolongs the operation time. Not all patients are suitable for femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery capsulotomy.

[0004] Therefore, how to realize a cataract surgery capsulorhexis with adjustable capsulorhexis diameter, realize the ideal 4C standard continuous circular capsulorhexis technique, reduce the operational difficulty of realizing the 4C standard continuous circular capsulorhexis technique, and reduce the cost of implementing the 4C standard continuous circular capsulorhexis technique has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cataract surgery capsulorhexis device with adjustable capsulorhexis diameter, comprising:

[0006] The present invention provides a cataract surgery capsulorhexis device with adjustable capsulorhexis diameter, comprising:

[0009] A fixing collar comprises a center ring and a handle. The center ring is detachably sleeved on the upper section of the center fixing needle and can rotate relative to the center fixing needle. The handle is vertically connected to the center ring.

[0010] Furthermore, a magnet is provided on the upper section of the central fixing needle, and the free end of the magnetic metal wire is fixed by adsorption of the magnet when it is wound around the upper section of the central fixing needle.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper section of the central fixing needle has a welding point, and the fixed end of the magnetic metal wire is welded to the welding point.
