MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617061281 A) filed by Alcon Inc. on May 14, 2026, for Pump Elastomer Seal Enhancement For Surgical Cassettes.
Inventor includes Hashemi, Behzad.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: Some embodiments provide a surgical cassette designed for use in ophthalmic surgical procedures, which features a multiple chamber pump elastomer to seal multiple chambers within the device. The elastomer is comprised of a silicone rubber component that incorporates a plurality of grooves on its top face and seal beads on its lower portion. The grooves enable lateral deformation of the silicone rubber under compression, improving the seal of the multiple chambers and reducing or eliminating leak paths, thus enhancing the device's performance. The seal beads, strategically placed on the lower portion of the silicone rubber component, prevent separation and lifting of the pump elastomer at the corners by conforming to the geometry of the corners.
