Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03045286A2] The invention concerns a device for folding intraocular implants with flexible optics. Said device comprises two folding elements (10) opposite each other whereof the ends are mutually linked by deformable means (16, 18, 20, 22). Each folding element comprises a body (14) and a jaw (24) projecting outside said body, an elastically deformable support (36) projecting outside said body along the direction bringing them closer, a positioning pin (38) projecting outside said second end of the support perpendicular to said support and facing upwards to co-operate, at rest, with the periphery of the optical part of the implant and an extension (30) projecting outside said body including a ramp (34) adapted to co-operate with the support of the other folding element when the two folding elements are brought closer together to lower said pin.
