Stabilizing capsular bags just got smoother. This strong and flexible capsular tension ring is ingeniously easy to insert. Meet Ringject. Our preloaded Capsular Tension Ring inserter, designed to give you full control at your fingertips.
Ready. Easy. Steady.
Ringject is a is a ready-to-use, preloaded Capsular Tension Ring (CTR) inserter, created by Ophtec. Our CTR has an ingenious tip-up design, for a smooth insertion. The Ringject injector allows for both clockwise and counterclockwise implantation, so you can easily change the direction whenever you need. And even better: you can use it with a single hand.
"It's as easy as loading a ballpoint pen - you just click it in." - Dr. Timothy Page
Two sizes
The Ringject is available in two sizes. The 12/10 model has an overall diameter of 12 mm and a compression from 12 mm to 10mm. The 13/11 model has an overal diameter of 13 mm and a compression from 13 mm to 11 mm.
Materials
Ophtec CTRs are extremely flexible and incredibly strong. Made from compression molded PMMA: a polymethyl-methacrylate, enhanced by redistributing the molecules into longer chains. Only Ophtec can tie its tension rings in a knot.
Tip-up design
The ends of the rings are gradually formed to 'tip-up' like a ski tip. This allows the CTR to be easily guided in the capsular bag as the ring is dialed in. The 'ski tips' allow the tips to flow unimpeded in the capsular bag and not become 'snagged'.
"The ski-tip design of the CTR prevents entanglement and entrapment. It's pretty ingenious." - Dr. Timothy Page
