Injector for Alcon®
Monarch® D, C and B cartridges for the AcrySof® IOL's
The new Injector (DK7797-2) for the Monarch® D cartridge allows
implantation of the single piece AcrySof® IOL's. It is compatible
with the previous Monarch® B and C cartridges.
The new injector features a single handed plunger mechanism for
fast, smooth, efficient delivery. To ensure a successful IOL
delivery and implantation, correct loading and setting of the IOL
into the cartridge is essential. Duckworth & Kent always
recommends using the Loading Forceps (DK7717) which feature highly
polished surfaces for easier loading without damage to the
delicate IOL. The forceps correctly load the IOL into the
cartridge in a pre-load position.
Once the cartridge is loaded into the injector, the tip is located
into the pre-load position by pushing the plunger until it stops.
The tip will hold in this position until the plunger is pushed
again for the IOL delivery.
The forceps gently grip the trailing haptic whilst the 'V' notch
supports the optic. Place the IOL into a cartridge that has been
coated with visco elastic internally. Using the upper thin limb of
the forceps, gently push the optic down onto the base of the
cartridge.
Fold the trailing haptic over the top of the optic and into the
cartridge using the 'V' notch of the forceps. With the forceps
closed, the step in the lower limb pushes the IOL into the
cartridge. The top of the step keeps the optic on the base of the
cartridge.
Push the IOL until the forceps shoulder reaches the back of the
cartridge. The IOL is now in the 'pre-load' position. Gently
remove the forceps out the the cartridge, and then load the
cartridge into the injector. Push the injector plunger until it
stops, the tip will move the IOL 1-2mm further forward. Release
the plunger and the tip moves back 1-2mm and will hold in this
position. The injector is ready for IOL delivery.
