    Description [0001] The present invention concerns the field of conservation, transport and processing of eyeballs for preparation for corneal transplantation, more particularly the present invention relates to a device for moving and transporting an eyeball.
    Prior art [0002] Currently, in the hospitals or in the specialized medical centers the procedure of preservation and processing of an eyeball for its preparation for corneal transplantation provides that after the removal of the eyeball, this is wrapped at the level of its base by gauze soaked in saline solution, while the apical part where the cornea is found is left free.
    [0003] The bulb is then inserted into a glass or container, not specific for the purpose (for example that of collecting urine or the like), containing a first transport liquid. The container is then closed with the relative lid.
    [0004] The Applicant has observed that the function of the gauze soaked in saline solution is to support the bulb, avoiding its overturning in the glass filled with liquid, so as to avoid corneal damage.
    [0005] The Applicant has however observed that this method is not effective in keeping the bulb in the desired position and therefore does not prevent possible corneal damage, especially during transport.
    [0006] After placement in the container or glass, the bulb is stored for a short time in the refrigerator awaiting observation and processing procedures or subsequent transport to specialized facilities.
    [0007] During the observation and processing procedures, the bulb is extracted from the glass and placed in another small second container to allow observation of the cornea under the microscope, the small container contains a special second processing liquid.
    [0008] The second container, currently used for observation under a microscope, and smaller than the container suitable for transport, so that it can be positioned on the microscope and allow the subsequent focusing of the corneal endothelium. This container has a lid with a central circular opening at the cornea.
    [0009] The Applicant has therefore observed that currently two separate containers are required for the transport and observation under the microscope of the eyeball.
    [0010] In the case of corneal suitability for transplantation, separation of the cornea from the bulb will be necessary, by a circular cut a few millimeters from the limbus.
    [0011] For the corneal cut, the bulb is currently left in the second container, but without a lid.
    [0012] The Applicant has also observed that this procedure is inconvenient, since, during cutting, the bulb tends to slip, having nothing that keeps it anchored to the second container. Even the execution of the cut keeping the bulb in hand is uncomfortable, in this way also in this way the bulb tends to slip.
    [0013] Following the cutting phase, the corneal preparation, ie the cornea extracted from the bulb, is inserted into a third container containing a third liquid, suitable for longer storage, awaiting transplantation. The rest of the eyeball and the first container are eliminated, while the second container for observation under the microscope is sterilized for reuse.
    [0014] The Applicant has also observed that the sterilization operations of the second container have additional costs and processing for the operators assigned to these tasks.
    [0015] The Applicant has also observed that hospitals that do not perform corneal transplants must, after explantation, send the eyeballs as soon as possible to a specialized center for observation and processing procedures.
    [0016] Currently, the bulbs are shipped inside the aforementioned glasses (sterile glasses for collecting urine or the like), in the special transport liquid, and wrapped in gauzes in order to stabilize the bulb itself, with the cornea facing high and therefore only in contact with the transport liquid.
    [0017] With this method, however, there is the risk of the bulb overturning during transport, with consequent possible corneal damage.
    [0018] The Applicant has therefore found the need to provide a device for moving and transporting an eyeball that allows to eliminate or in any case significantly reduce the problems of the known art. In particular, which allows to reduce or eliminate the risk of possible corneal damage related to transport and which allows the eyeball to be kept in a fixed position during observation and processing procedures.
    [0019] The Applicant has also found the need to provide a device for moving, transporting, observing and processing an eyeball which reduces the number of containers for the different phases described above and which reduces the impact. in terms of cost and work related to sterilization operations. The new device is in fact «disposable» and consists of a container suitable for transport and a second container suitable for observation under the already incorporated microscope. This method also eliminates the movement of the bulb from one container to another so as to reduce manipulations.
    Summary of the Invention [0020] Therefore, in a first aspect thereof the invention relates to a device for handling, transporting, observing and processing an eyeball for corneal transplantation or research, comprising: - at least one base body comprising a first housing seat or cavity which extends around a substantially vertical axis for at least partial housing of an eyeball; - at least one retaining element for holding the eyeball in said first housing seat or cavity; said retaining element comprises a plurality of fins, comprising at least three fins, arranged around said first housing or cavity; said fins being shaped to contact the eyeball for at least 15% of an ocular circumference obtained from the intersection between a plane orthogonal to the vertical axis of said first housing seat or cavity and the eyeball itself; - at least one cover which can be removably associated with the base body.
    [0021] The device according to the present invention allows to obtain a greater stability of the eyeball and a support for greater safety and consequent maintenance of the corneal integrity both during transport and during storage in the refrigerator.
    [0022] Furthermore, the device according to the present invention is also suitable for observation under the microscope and corneal cut, since, thanks to the housing cavity and the retaining element which support and hold the eyeball directly, a excellent hold in position of the bulb without slipping during the circular cut.
    [0023] The Applicant has in fact found that in order to hold the eyeball in position, especially during corneal cutting, it is necessary to retain the same in at least three distinct contact areas. A smaller number of contact areas would not be sufficient to hold the eyeball in position that would slip and risk irreparably damaging the cornea. During this operation, the eyeball is, in fact, stressed in different directions by the scalpel or cutting tools, the holding element must therefore be able to counteract any type of stress, especially lateral, which may come from any useful direction corneal cut.
    [0024] The Applicant has also found that the contact surface between the retaining element and the bulb must be extended beyond a certain minimum area so as not to damage the bulb itself, in particular given the variability of directions of the stresses to which the eyeball is subjected same during corneal cutting.

    Detailed description of embodiments of the invention [0051] With reference to figs. 1-3 a device for moving, transporting, observing and processing an eyeball according to the present invention, is identified with the numerical reference 10.
    [0052] In the embodiment shown in figs 1-4 and in particular in figs. 2 and 4, the device 10 for moving and transporting an eyeball according to the present invention has a base body 2 comprising a first housing seat or cavity 4 for housing at least a part of an eyeball 1, at least one retaining element 3 to hold the eyeball 1 in the first housing seat or cavity 4 which develops around an axis, preferably vertical (not shown in the figures) and a lid 5 detachably associated with the base body 2.
    [0053] In the embodiment shown in the figures the base body 2 is made in two portions, respectively an upper portion 2a and a lower portion 2b which can be removably associated, by means of suitable releasable coupling means.
    [0054] Alternatively, the base body 2 could be made in a single piece without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
    [0055] The base body 2 has in its upper portion 2a the first housing seat or cavity 4 for housing at least a part of an eyeball 1. The first housing seat or cavity 4 is a hollow seat open towards the upper part for allow insertion of the eyeball 1.
    [0056] In the embodiment shown in figs 2 and 4, the housing or cavity seat 4 has a hemispherical shape, but could have a spherical shape or a different portion of sphere without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
    [0057] Alternatively, the first housing seat 4 could have a different shape, for example cubic, cylindrical or conical, or of a portion thereof, but the Applicant believes that the hemispherical shape or portion of a sphere reduces the presence of edges and allows a better transport of the eyeball 1, without damage or trauma to it.
    [0058] With reference to figs 1-4, the first housing seat or cavity 4 is open at the top and is made so as to have the maximum diameter Dmax at the axially upper portion of the cavity itself.
    [0059] Preferably, the maximum diameter Dmax is included in the range between 15 and 40 mm, even more preferably between 20 and 30 mm.
    [0060] In its lower portion the first housing seat or cavity 4 is connected to a second hollow seat 7 for housing the optic nerve stump.
    [0061] The second seat 7 for housing the optic nerve stump, with reference to the embodiment shown in figs. 2 and 4 is also made in the upper portion 2a of the base body 2.
    [0062] The second hollow seat 7 has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a diameter d comprised in the range between 0.1 Dmax and 0.7 Dmax.
    [0063] In the embodiment shown in figs 1-4, the holding element 3 appears as a crown comprising a plurality of fins 13, at least three, arranged radially around the cavity 4.
    [0064] The fins 13 are shaped to contact the eyeball for at least 15% of an ocular circumference obtained from the intersection between an orthogonal plane of the cavity 4 and the eyeball itself.
    [0065] The Applicant has in fact observed that the fins 13 must come into contact with the eyeball and such contact, in order to ensure the tightness in position of the eyeball itself during the execution of some operations such as transport, positioning under a microscope, sclerocorneal cut, and other types of work in the research field, for example, must take place for at least a significant portion of the eyeball itself.
    [0066] Preferably for this purpose, the fins 13 are shaped to contact the eyeball for at least 40% of an ocular circumference, even more preferably the fins 13 are shaped to contact the eyeball for at least 70% of an ocular circumference . The fins 13 are angularly spaced and extend from an annular element 14 arranged around the cavity 4. In detail, the annular element 14 extends circumferentially around a radially outer wall of the base body 2.
    [0067] The retaining element 3 is removably coupled through suitable first releasable and selectively adjustable coupling means 18 to the base body 2.
    [0068] As a releasable and selectively adjustable coupling means 18, a thread 18a is provided on the base body suitable for engaging with a corresponding counter thread 18b provided on a radially inner surface of the retaining element 3.
    [0069] In detail, the counter thread 18b is provided on an inner surface of the annular element 14.
    [0070] The fins 13 each have a free end, the free ends 13a are arranged along a circumference smaller in diameter than the Dmax of the housing cavity 4 so as to abut and hold the eyeball 1 in the housing cavity 4.
    [0071] Preferably, the tabs 13 of the retaining element 3 are elastically deformable.
    [0072] The elasticity of the fins 13 allows the eyeball 1 to be held in the housing cavity 4 without damaging it in the event of sudden movements.
    [0073] Still in order not to damage the eyeball during transport or movement, the free end 13a of the fins 13 is folded upwards, with reference to the figures.
    [0074] Alternatively, the free end 13a of the fins 13 could be folded downwards without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
    [0075] The threading of the thread 18a on the counter thread 18b lowers the retaining element on the base body 2 in the axial direction, thus reducing the space in which the eyeball 1 is retained.
    [0076] On the other hand the unscrewing of the thread 18a on the counter thread 18b raises the retaining element 3 on the base body 2 in the axial direction, thus increasing the space in which the eyeball 1 is retained.
    [0077] In other words, by acting on the first coupling means 18 an adjustment of the holding element 3 is allowed in the axial direction with respect to the eyeball 1.
    [0078] In this way it is possible to adapt the coupling between the holding element 3 and the housing cavity 4 to the actual size of the eyeball 1.
    [0079] In an alternative embodiment the seal of the eyeball 1 can also be made only by the elastic fins 13, in other words without the need to provide releasable and selectively adjustable coupling means 18.
    [0080] Still according to another embodiment which is not shown as a releasable coupling means 18, a snap system can be present for coupling the annular element 14 to the upper portion 2a of the base body 2.
    [0081] In fig. 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the restraining element 3. According to this embodiment the retaining element 3 is formed by at least three tabs 13 angularly spaced around the first housing seat or cavity 4.
    [0082] Preferably, the three fins 13 are angularly spaced at an angle greater than 60 °, preferably of an angle greater than 90 °, for example of about 120 °.
    [0083] The three fins 13 extend from an annular element 14 arranged around the housing or cavity seat 4. In detail, the annular element 14 extends circumferentially around a radially outer wall of the base body 2.
    [0084] Each fin 13 is shaped to contact the eyeball for at least 10% of an ocular circumference obtained from the intersection between a plane orthogonal to the vertical axis of the first housing seat or cavity 4 and the eyeball 1 itself.
    [0085] The retaining element 3 also in this case can be removably coupled through suitable first releasable and selectively adjustable coupling means 18 to the base body 2.
    [0086] In fig. 7 shows an alternative embodiment of the retaining element 3. According to this embodiment, the retaining element 3 is formed by a plurality of fins 13, preferably eight, angularly spaced around the first housing seat or cavity 4.
    [0087] The fins 13 are joined by an upper annular element adapted to contact the eyeball 1.
    [0088] In this case, due to the springing of the annular element 54, due to the elasticity or flexibility of the tabs 13, a precise holding of the eyeball during the cutting operations of the cornea is allowed.
    [0089] As best shown in the figures, the device has a cover 5 which can be removably associated with the base body 2.
    [0090] The lid 5 is shaped so that once associated with the base body 2 it realizes a cavity 8 for a preservative and / or transport liquid.
    [0091] In the embodiment shown in the figures the cavity 8 for the preservation and / or transport liquid is shaped so that the eyeball 1 is immersed at least partially in the liquid, preferably is completely immersed in the liquid.
    [0092] Preferably the cavity 8 comprises a volume of between 10 and 100 milliliters.
    [0093] For this purpose, in the embodiment shown in figs. 1-4, the lid 5 is shaped like an inverted cup, substantially cylindrical, provided with a lateral surface 9 and a bottom 10.
    [0094] The bottom has a central opening 11 and a plug 12. An o-ring can be mounted on the cap 12 for sealing.
    [0095] The opening 11 which in the embodiment of figs. 1, 2, 4 is circular, it allows to put in fluid communication the outside of the device with the cavity 8 so as to be able to feed the cavity 8 with a suitable preserving liquid and / or transport.
    [0096] The cover 5 is associated with the base body 2 by means of second releasable coupling means 28, in other words the means which allow the cover to be fixed and removed from the base body 2.
    [0097] In the embodiment shown in the figures as releasable coupling means 28 for associating the cover 5 with the base body 2 there is provided a thread 28a provided on a radially inner surface of the side surface 9 and a counter thread 28b provided on a surface radially external of the base body 2, preferably on a radially outer surface of the lower potion 2b of the base body 2.
    [0098] However, different releasable coupling means can be provided without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
    [0099] The coupling between the lid 5 and the base body 2 is such as to ensure a hermetic closure of the lid 5 on the base body 2 so that the liquid contained in the cavity 8 cannot escape.
    [0100] For this purpose, between the outer surface of the base body 2 and the container 5 there is a sealing element 15, such as an o-ring, arranged in an annular seat 16 provided on the radially outer surface of the base body and in particular on radially outer surface of the lower portion 2b of the base body 2.
    [0101] In fig. 4 shows the device 100 according to the present invention provided with an additional piece with respect to fig. 2 in particular a ring 20 which can be associated with the base body 2 in a removable manner.
    [0102] In detail, by associating the ring nut 20 with the upper portion 2a of the base body and removing the latter from the base body 2, an eyeball-shaped container 100 is formed for observation of the endothelium under the microscope, better shown in fig. 5.
    [0103] For this purpose, the ring nut 20 has fixing means 24 which can be released to the upper portion 2a of the base body 2.
    [0104] As a releasable fixing means 24 a thread 24a is provided which can be coupled with a corresponding counter thread 24b provided on a lateral surface of the upper portion 2a of the base body 2.
    [0105] Once associated with the upper portion 2a of the base body 2, the ring nut and the upper portion 2a of the base body have a maximum height Hmax, measured starting from a plane containing the bottom surface of the upper portion 2a of the base body 2.
    [0106] The ring 20 comprises a substantially circular opening 21 for housing at least a portion of eyeball 1 containing the cornea.
    [0107] In detail, the ring nut 20 is shaped like an inverted cup and comprises a cylindrical lateral surface 27 and a bottom surface 28, in the figures shown facing upwards.
    [0108] The circular opening 21 is centrally provided in the bottom surface 28 and is sized to house the portion of eyeball containing the cornea.
    [0109] The bottom surface 28 is lowered with respect to the upper end of the lateral surface 27 so as to form an upper tank 22 for an observation liquid.
    [0110] Advantageously, the device according to the present invention can have means 23 for fixing said base body 2 to a supporting surface, such as a table or a work surface.
    [0111] In the embodiment shown in the figures as means 23 for fixing said base body 2 to a supporting surface a double-sided adhesive tape is provided.
    [0112] The double-sided adhesive tape preferably extends over the entire bottom surface of the base body 2 and is integral with this.
    [0113] At the other side, eliminating a peelable tab not shown, the double-sided adhesive can also be made integral to a supporting surface.
    [0114] The presence of the constraining means 23 for fixing the said base body 2 to a supporting surface is particularly advantageous during the cutting of the cornea.
    [0115] Such constraint means 23 could be provided with other elements such as velcro portions or velvet or fabric portions or a suction cup without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
    [0116] The present invention has been described with reference to some embodiments. Various modifications can be made to the embodiments described in detail, while remaining within the scope of protection of the invention, defined by the following claims.
