| 20110144654 | System and Method for Storing, Shipping and Injecting Ocular Devices - A shipping system for a medical device, such as implantable lens for an eye, is provided that may be reconfigured from a shipping mode into an injection mode without manually handling the contained lens or other device. Upon manufacture, a lens may be placed within the system assembly in the shipping configuration. While in the shipping configuration, the lens is kept in its desired shape and within a selected environment. Upon arrival at the destination, the user may attach a nozzle assembly for injecting the device into a body. The process of changing from the shipping to the injection mode deforms the device into a shape suitable for injection. A new assembly for a medical device utilizing the shipping systems is also disclosed. The insertion assembly includes a body for containing the medical device, a plunger casing, a finger-engaging flange, and a resilient ring member all of which are formed as a single piece assembly. Additionally a nozzle assembly may be integrally formed with the insertion assembly or formed as a separate body that is attachable to the insertion assembly. | 06-16-2011 |
