Apparatus and method for preloading an intraocular lens (30) in a component of an injector device. The intraocular lens (30) is positioned in a shuttle which is sealed in a vial (11) of storage solution. The vial cover is releasably attached to the shuttle (16). At the time of use, the surgeon opens the vial by removing the cover and shuttle together from the vial. While holding the cover, the surgeon or nurse attaches the shuttle to the proximal body section whereupon the vial cover is released from the shuttle. The distal nozzle section is then attached to the proximal body section which completes the device assembly. The plunger is advanced to express the IOL from the distal tip of the distal section.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour le préchargement de lentille intra-oculaire dans un élément de dispositif injecteur. On place la lentille dans une navette scellée à l'intérieur d'un flacon de solution de stockage. Le couvercle du flacon est fixé amovible à la navette. Au moment de l'utilisation, le chirurgien ouvre le flacon en enlevant le couvercle et la navette simultanément. Tout en tenant le couvercle, le chirurgien ou l'infirmière fixe la navette au corps proximal, moyennant quoi le couvercle est libéré de la navette. La buse distale est ensuite fixée au corps proximal, ce qui achève la réalisation de l'ensemble du dispositif, puis on pousse le plongeur pour éjecter la lentille à l'extrémité distale de la partie distale.
