Definitions

FIG. 2 shows another ophthalmic infusion support according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 10 shows another ophthalmic infusion support according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 11 shows another ophthalmic infusion support according to an embodiment of the invention.
the adhesive 120 is used to attach directly to a patient, such as adhering to the patient's skin in a region adjacent to an eye, as will be discussed in more detail below.
a fixation device such as the adhesive 120 is used to attach indirectly to a patient, such as attaching to a surgical drape that is place on the patient. Both direct fixation, and indirect fixation methods are encompassed in the present disclosure. Any number of suitable adhesives may be used as a fixation device, as discussed above. Other fixation devices include, but are not limited to, mechanical fixation, such as spring clips, pins, etc. Mechanical fixation device examples will primarily be used for indirect fixation to an intermediate element, such as a surgical drape.
FIG. 5 shows a pair of infusion tube holding devices, including a first infusion tube holding device 510 and a second infusion tube holding device 512 .
the infusion tube holding devices 510 , 512 include resilient clips, although the invention is not so limited.
arms 511 of the infusion tube holding devices 510 , 512 are flexible and can deform to allow insertion of an infusion tube (not shown) into the resilient clips.
the pair of infusion tube holding devices 510 , 512 of the ophthalmic infusion support 500 are configured to hold a portion of an infusion tube in a loop that projects upward from a patient, as shown in more detail in FIGS. 7 and 8 below.
the infusion tube holding devices 610 , 612 are integrally molded or cut from the base unit 602 . Similar to the example of FIG. 5 , the infusion tube holding devices 610 , 612 are flexible and can deform to allow insertion of an infusion tube (not shown) into the resilient clips. In one example by integrally molding or cutting the infusion tube holding devices 610 , 612 from the base unit 602 , manufacturing cost and materials cost savings are provided.
the pair of infusion tube holding devices 610 , 612 of the ophthalmic infusion support 600 are configured to hold a portion of an infusion tube in a loop that projects upward from a patient, as shown in more detail in FIGS. 7 and 8 below.
an adhesive 620 is coupled to the bottom surface 604 of the base unit 602 .
the adhesive 620 serves as a fixation device, and may be used to attach to a patient, directly or indirectly as discussed above.
the adhesive such as a pressure sensitive adhesive is used.
a peel off backing 622 is shown that may be removed to expose the adhesive 620 for attaching to a patient.
the bottom surface 604 may be flat as shown in FIG. 6 , or optionally anatomically curved as shown in FIG. 2 to better conform and adhere to a patient, either directly or indirectly.
fixation devices that may be used in place of adhesive 620 include, but are not limited to, mechanical fixation, such as spring clips, pins, etc.
Mechanical fixation device examples will primarily be used for indirect fixation to an intermediate element, such as a surgical drape.
the ophthalmic infusion support 1100 example of FIG. 11 shows a first infusion tube holding device 1110 and a second infusion tube holding device 1112 .
the ophthalmic infusion support 1100 is wholly or partially formed from a resilient material, such as a polymer material, or flexible metal.
a top portion 1106 may be tilted slightly to one side or the other in order to facilitate insertion of an infusion tube into the first or second infusion tube holding device 1110 , 1112 .
the resilient nature of the material will then serve as a clamping force to hold the infusion tube in place within the chosen infusion tube holding device.
One advantage of two infusion tube holding devices 1110 , 1112 includes a greater number of options to hold the infusion tube in place without obstructing view of the eye for the procedure.
Example 4 includes the ophthalmic infusion support of any one of examples 1-3, wherein the infusion holding device includes adhesive.
Example 7 includes the ophthalmic infusion support of any one of examples 1-6, wherein the infusion tube holding device includes an angled top surface projecting away from the patient.
Example 9 includes the ophthalmic infusion support of any one of examples 1-8, wherein the infusion tube holding device includes at least one integrally formed infusion tube holding device.
Example 24 includes the ophthalmic infusion support of any one of examples 22-23, wherein the ophthalmic infusion support is formed at least partially from a resilient material.
