Benefits of technology

The medical cooling device described in this patent has several features including an elastic unit that connects the divided members to the cooling medium, another elastic unit that provides compressive force normal to the cooling medium, and a spring. The elastic unit may also be a tube made of elastic material that surrounds the container. These features help improve the device's cooling efficiency and make it easier to use in various medical applications.

Problems solved by technology

IVT is a painful and psychologically stressful procedure, and patients often demand maximal anesthesia before an injection.
These methods require several minutes for the onset of maximal anesthesia, increasing the time required for patient preparation by several fold.
While the method of eye drops of topical anesthetics is the most time-efficient method, the level of anesthesia is moderate and patients often complain of injection pain.
In addition to the possible side effects, chemical anesthesia agents often result in adverse effects when applied to the eye surface such as eye dryness and soreness, which further lead to patient discomfort.
The rapidly increasing number of IVTs has resulted in severe strain in ophthalmic clinic work flow and long patient waiting time, forcing retina specialists to sacrifice patient experience for managing their busy clinics.
