The thermal emulsification systems can include one or more elements that can be heated to apply localized heat to the crystalline lens to avoid unintentional damage to other ocular components and cellular structures of the eye, such as the capsular bag. The thermal emulsification systems can supply heated fluid to the lens to apply localized heat to the lens to avoid unintentional damage to other ocular components and cellular structures of the eye, such as the capsular bag."
The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 29, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/013383.
