Laser Surgery TRIZ Cases
- Laser Contact Element Surface Mapping for Precise Optical Breakthroughs
Confocal laser measurement maps the actual contact element surface, improving focus alignment for precise optical breakthroughs despite shape tolerances.
- Pneumatic Valve Cover Cooling and Noise Suppression
A manifold cover channels pressurized gas around a pneumatic valve to remove heat and suppress noise during high-speed vitreoretinal use.
- Free-Floating Patient Interface for Laser Beam Alignment
A free-floating scanner and support assembly follows eye movement to keep the laser beam aligned without rigid restraints or added system complexity.
- Electromagnetic Elastomeric Valve for Consistent Fluid Flow
A steel-disc elastomeric valve uses electromagnetic actuation to avoid stroke-dependent solenoid force loss and keep surgical fluid flow precise.
- Laser Scan Pattern Calibration With Fluorescent Plate Imaging
Automatic fluorescent plate imaging maps camera pixels and scan coordinates to treatment space, reducing manual laser calibration time.
- Beam Multiplexer Pulse Splitting for Faster Refractive Index Writing
Multiple offset laser sub-pulses raise refractive index writing speed while staying above absorption and below material breakdown thresholds.
- Handheld Ophthalmic Laser Tips and Guide for Ciliary Body Targeting
A replaceable tip and curved treatment guide help a handheld battery-powered laser align with the ciliary body for more precise glaucoma treatment.
- Free-Floating Patient Interface for Laser Beam Alignment
A free-floating scanner interface uses 3D bearings, reflectors, and a counterbalance to follow patient motion while keeping the laser beam aligned.
- Radially Repulsive Magnetic Bearing for Optical Self-Alignment
Axially polarized magnets create contactless self-alignment of coupled optical elements, maintaining coupling despite drift without servo electronics.
- Free-Floating Eye Interface Assembly for Laser Beam Alignment
A free-floating eye interface lets the scanner move with the eye to maintain laser beam alignment without rigid restraints or complex supports.
- Surgical Foot Controller Shroud for Safe Laser Switch Access
An integrated treadle shroud keeps the laser switch protected by default while enabling intuitive foot access during delicate surgery.
- Laser-Sculpted Corneal Allograft Implants for Refractive Reshaping
Natural donor corneal tissue is laser-sculpted to match refractive needs while improving biocompatibility, hydration, and nutrient exchange.
