20100280521 | PRELOADED IOL INJECTOR - A preloaded intraocular lens injection device includes a retainer for releasably holding an IOL in an unstressed state. The retainer and IOL are removably attached to an injector body and are sealed in the same package for delivery to a surgeon. In an alternate embodiment, the retainer and IOL are coupled together and sealed in one package and the injector body is sealed in a separate package with the surgeon attaching the retainer to the injector body at the time of surgery. To deliver the IOL through the injector body, the retainer is removed from the injector body causing the IOL to release from the retainer and become located in an unstressed state in the injector body. A compressor is moved to the closed position to compress the IOL, the injector tip is inserted through a small incision in an eye and a plunger is advanced to push the IOL through and out the injector body tip and into an eye. | 11-04-2010 |

20090043208 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ESTIMATING BLOOD FLOW CHARACTERISTICS - Methods and devices are described for estimating blood flow characteristics through an orifice of a subject, such as regurgitant blood flow through a faulty heart valve. Acoustical techniques can be applied to send bursts of energy, such as high repetition pulsed ultrasonic signals, to a sample volume in a region of interest. For example, multiple beams can be formed from the bursts of energy each having a cross sectional area that is smaller than the cross sectional area of the orifice being investigated. By combining the multiple beams, a composite measure of the blood flow characteristics through the orifice can be obtained. In one example, the composite measure can provide an estimate of the cross sectional area of the interrogated orifice. The composite measure can also provide an estimate of the geometry of the orifice. Systems and components for providing such composite measures are also disclosed. | 02-12-2009 |
