The MORCHER product portfolio includes; single-use pre-loaded capsular rings, intraocular lenses, the 'Bag-In-The-Lens' range, and caliper rings.

CTRs stabilise the capsule in cases of damaged or missing zonules and also in potentially complicated surgical conditions, luxation of IOLs, zonuloysis, pseudoexfoliation, and Marchesani syndrome. CTRs are also used in cases of severe myopia to stabilise the capsule. The rings reduce the risk of damaging the capsule or zonula during surgery as they simplify the implantation of foldable IOLs, due to better centring of the IOL, which is beneficial in cases of future capsular bag shrinkage.

MORCHER CTRs are manufactured from one-piece PMMA. All CTRs are single-use and preloaded.

Cionni rings are CTRs used for scleral fixation. They have additional fixation eyelets, to allow the entire ring to be fixated permanently to the sclera with sutures. Different models are available providing the Surgeon with versatility in placement of scleral fixation, depending on the extent and area of zonular weakness.

Capsular segments are designed for patients with extensive and/or progressive zonular loss. They can be used in cases where a discontinuous capsulorhexis, an anterior capsule tear or a posterior capsule tear, is present, as they do not produce a 360° expansile force. 

Yes, MORCHER manufacture foldable intraocular lenses. They are sterile optical medical devices designed to replace or supplement the human crystalline lens. The hydrophilic group of lenses are made of acrylic material that is positioned in the capsular bag or sulcus. 

There are 3 types of Bag-In-the-Lens IOLs in the range; Type 89A are for adults and paediatrics, type 89D are for short eyes, while type 89F are for combined cataract and vitrectomy procedures or in eyes with large pupils.

Surgeons must undertake a prerequisite training course before implantation of Bag-In-the-Lens IOLs. Please contact our customer services team on 01279 883720 or email info.unitedkingdom@haag-streit.com for further information. 

Caliper rings are a temporary device to enable the Surgeon to create a more precise anterior capsulorhexis. Use of a Caliper Ring is advised in procedures where a calibrated anterior capsulorhexis of a precise diameter is desired. Caliper Rings are available in five sizes, ranging from 4.3mm in diameter to 6.8mm, and are made in black PMEA.
