Mini-incision injector

Rayner Intraocular Lenses has announced the launch of its new injector, RaySert PLUS.

"Much like the earlier 2.7 mm Rayner injectors and the later 2.4 mm Raysert injectors the new 2.2 mm RaySert PLUS has a very easy and simple loading mechanism," confirmed Mr Allon Barsom (consultant ophthalmic surgeon specialist in cornea, cataract and laser eye surgery, at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital, UCL Partners, UK). "The one handed injector frees up the non-dominant hand for counter fixation to facilitate a controlled and gentle wound assisted delivery of the lens into the capsular bag."
