Patent attributes
The invention relates to a folder module for folding a flexible intraocular implant for injection into the eye of a patient. The module comprises two jaws that are movable relative to each other, each jaw having a folder wall constituted by a portion of a cylindrical surface, and a plane wall secured to the folder wall, the two plane walls lying in parallel planes;a pivot axis orthogonal to the plane walls to control relative pivoting movement of one jaw relative to the other;one of the jaws being capable of occupying relative to the other a first position in which said plane walls are offset relative to each other;a second position in which the plane walls face each other so as to define an implant confinement volume; anda third position in which the folder walls meet each other to define a folder chamber enabling the implant to be finally folded.
