MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421103061 A) filed by Dhruvi Dhummad on December 26, 2024, for Preloaded Intraocular Lens (iol) Delivery System.
Inventor includes Dhruvi Dhummad.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a preloaded delivery system for intraocular lenses (IOLs). Specifically, it pertains to a device capable of delivering both hydrophobic and hydrophilic types of IOLs in a controlled and efficient manner. Background of the Invention: Intraocular lenses are used to replace the natural lens of the eye during cataract or refractive surgery. Preloaded delivery systems simplify the surgical process by preloading the IOL into the device, reducing handling, and minimizing the risk of contamination or damage. Current systems lack certain features, such as speed control during delivery, which can enhance surgical precision. The present invention addresses these limitations by introducing a preloaded system with advanced mechanisms for IOL fixation, unlocking, lubrication, and controlled delivery. Summary of the Invention: The invention provides a preloaded intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system designed to deliver hydrophobic and hydrophilic IOLs. The system comprises several components, including: 1. A Lens Holder Base and Lens Holder Cover for preloading and securely holding the IOL. 2. A Lens Unlock Mechanism that holds the IOL in place and, upon activation, releases it for delivery. 3. A lubrication system that automatically activates when the IOL is unlocked, ensuring smooth lens movement. 4. A Push Button, connected to a Speed Control Wedge via a Link, which controls the speed of the delivery process. 5. A Flat Spiral Constant Force Spring, in a preloaded stressed position, that drives the delivery mechanism when released. 6. A Cartridge designed to progressively fold the IOL and deliver it through variously sized nozzles to match different IOL geometries. The invention ensures controlled delivery of the IOL through a speed-regulated mechanism, improving surgical precision and adaptability to different IOL types and sizes.
