Multicenter Evaluation of Time, Operational, and Economic Efficiencies of a New Preloaded Intraocular Lens Delivery System versus Manual Intraocular Lens Delivery

Figures & data

Figure 1 UltraSert preloaded IOL delivery system.

Figure 2 Lens delivery process.

Figure 3 Mean lens delivery times with System U and System M.

Table 1 Device Preparation Time with System U and System M

	System U, n=93	System M, n=103
Mean device preparation time ± SD (range), s	30.3±6.6 (20−60)	59.8±31.0 (31−202)
Mean lens delivery time ± SD (range), s	12.9±5.1 (4−28)	12.2±6.3 (4−44)
Mean lens unfolding time ± SD (range), s	13.8±7.0 (40−50)	17.6±11.0 (4−58)
Mean total surgical case time	56.6±12.6 (35−98)	89.6±34.6 (41–232)

Figure 4 Mean total intraoperative surgical times with System U and System M (device preparation + lens delivery).

Figure 5 Comparison of System U and System M. (A) Device preparation time, lens delivery time, and lens unfolding time. (B) Total surgical case time includes device preparation, lens delivery, and lens positioning/unfolding.

Figure 6 Physician satisfaction levels: *1=not satisfied at all; 7=extremely satisfied; ^†1=manual better, 5=neutral, 9=System U better; ^‡1=other preloaded device better, 5=neutral, 9=System U better.
