Abstract

The invention relates to an implant device comprising a sensor module which comprises one or more first fastening means, an implant module which comprises one or more second fastening means, and a connecting module, by means of which the sensor module is connected to the implant module via the one or the first fastening means and via the one or the second fastening means, and comprising a fold axis, along which the implant device can be folded up.

Claims (26)

1. Implant device comprising:

a sensor module ( 10 ) which comprises one or more first fastening means ( 11 - 13 );

an implant module ( 20 ) in the form of an intraocular lens ( 25 ) and comprising one or more second fastening means ( 21 - 23 ); and

a connecting module ( 30 ), by means of which the sensor module ( 10 ) is connected to the implant module ( 20 ) via the one or the first fastening means ( 11 - 13 ) and via the one or the second fastening means ( 21 - 23 ); and

a fold axis (A 3 ), along which the implant device can be folded up at the connection module ( 30 ) between an unfolded condition before implanting and a folded condition after implanting.

2. Implant device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor module ( 10 ) is formed as a pressure sensor module.

3. Implant device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more first fastening means ( 11 - 13 ) of the sensor module ( 10 ) are formed as eyelets.

4. Implant device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more second fastening means ( 21 - 23 ) of the implant module ( 20 ) are formed as eyelets.

5. Implant device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting module ( 30 ) is formed as a hinge part or as a flexible or foldable material.

6. Implant device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor module ( 10 ) and the implant module ( 20 ) are also flexibly connected by means of one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ) via the connecting module ( 30 ).

7. Implant device according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ) are fixed by knotting or by bonding or by clamping the one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ).

8. Implant device according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ) are surgical threads.

9. Implant device according to claim 1 , wherein the implant device ( 5 ) is provided for use in an injector or an injector set, by means of which the implant device ( 5 ) is intended to be implanted.

10. An implant device comprising:

a sensor module ( 10 ) which comprises one or more first fastening means ( 11 - 13 );

an implant module ( 20 ) in the form of an intraocular lens ( 25 ) and comprising one or more second fastening means ( 21 - 23 ); and

a connecting module ( 30 ), by means of which the sensor module ( 10 ) is connected to the implant module ( 20 ) via the one or the first fastening means ( 11 - 13 ) and via the one or the second fastening means ( 21 - 23 );

a fold axis (A 3 ), along which the implant device can be folded up at the connection module ( 30 ) between an unfolded condition before implanting and a folded condition after implanting;

the sensor module ( 10 ) and the implant module ( 20 ) being flexibly connected by means of one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ) via the connecting module ( 30 ).

11. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the sensor module ( 10 ) is formed as a pressure sensor module.

12. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more first fastening means ( 11 - 13 ) of the sensor module ( 10 ) are formed as eyelets.

13. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more second fastening means ( 21 - 23 ) of the implant module ( 20 ) are formed as eyelets.

14. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the connecting module ( 30 ) is formed as a hinge part or as a flexible or foldable material.

15. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ) are fixed by knotting or by bonding or by clamping the one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ).

16. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the one or more threads (F 1 -F 4 ) are surgical threads.

17. The implant device according to claim 10 , wherein the implant device ( 5 ) is provided for use in an injector or an injector set, by means of which the implant device ( 5 ) is intended to be implanted.
