titleOfInvention | Sutureless occular surgical methods and instruments for use in such methods |
abstract | The present invention provides a method for performing an intraocular surgery in which an operator in charge performs access to an intraocular space to perform a surgical procedure or technique that does not require the use of a suture for sealing the sclera and / or conjunctiva following surgery. It features a new method. The method of the present invention generally includes providing an entry alignment device, inserting the entry alignment device into the eye through the conjunctiva and sclera to form an entry hole extending between the outside of the eye and the intraocular space in the eye. . The provided alignment device is configured to form or provide a hole or opening in each of the conjunctiva and sclera of the eye and to maintain a hole or opening in each of the conjunctiva and sclera aligned during the surgical procedure such that the hole or opening forms an entry hole. . In a more particular aspect, the provided insertion alignment device is sized such that when the insertion alignment device is removed from the eye following the end of the surgical procedure, a hole or opening formed in the sclera is sealed without the use of a suture. In a more particular aspect of the invention, the provided entry alignment device is thus sized such that the aperture or opening and the entry aperture are self-sealed. In other embodiments, multiple inlet alignment devices may be provided such that multiple inlet holes are formed in the eye. The invention also features a high speed vitreous cutting and evacuation device specifically configured for use in such methods and surgical procedures and techniques, as well as associated draw alignment devices and other surgical instruments. |
