Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical capsulorhexis assistance technology, specifically a cataract surgery capsulorhexis assist device. Background Technology
[0002] Aging, genetics, local nutritional deficiencies, immune and metabolic abnormalities, trauma, poisoning, and radiation can all cause metabolic disorders in the lens, leading to protein denaturation and clouding, i.e., cataracts. When lens clouding reaches a certain degree, surgical treatment is necessary. During the procedure, the clouded lens nucleus and lens cortex are removed, preserving the posterior capsule on the outer surface of the lens and the anterior capsule (capsular bag) after capsulorhexis. A posterior chamber artificial lens, replacing the clouded lens, is then implanted into this capsular bag.
[0003] Small incision cataract surgery is currently the mainstream cataract surgery. One of the important techniques in this surgery is capsulorhexis, the main purpose of which is to provide a continuous, smooth anterior capsular opening to facilitate the removal of the cloudy lens nucleus and cortex. However, due to factors such as the direction of the capsulorhexis force, the position of the capsulorhexis forceps, the switching point, and the surgeon's feel and skill level, capsular tearing, displacement, and improper size are still unavoidable. These issues can affect the removal of the lens nucleus and cortex, the implantation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens, and even lead to surgical failure.
[0004] Cataract capsulotomy requires the assistance of an assistive device. However, existing assistive devices have a simple structure and cannot open and fix the eyelids. Utility Model Content
