Rapid Access Vitreal Injection Guide

An injection guide for stabilizing an injection site located on an ocular structure during an intravitreal injection, the injection guide comprising:

• a first flange;
• a second flange positioned opposite the first flange, the first flange and the second flange capable of holding portions of the ocular structure away from the injection site;
• a handle coupled to the second flange and positioned away from the injection site to provide a substantially unobstructed view of the injection site and the ocular structure;
• and
• a base plate positioned between and coupled to the first flange and the second flange, the base plate having a bottom surface and including
• a first notch extending a predetermined distance from a first edge of the base plate to a central portion of the base plate to provide 360 degree access to the injection site;
• and
• a tamponade surface integral with the bottom surface of the base plate and configured to tamponade the ocular structure.

An injection guide for stabilizing an injection site located on an ocular structure during an intravitreal injection with a needle, the injection guide comprising:

• a first flange;
• a second flange positioned opposite the first flange, the first flange and the second flange capable of holding portions of the ocular structure away from the injection site;
• a handle coupled to the second flange and positioned away from the injection site to provide a substantially unobstructed view of the injection site and the ocular structure;
• and
• a base plate positioned between and coupled to the first flange and the second flange, the base plate having a bottom surface and including
• an aperture centered on the base plate and positioned a predetermined distance from an edge of the base plate to provide 360 degree access to the injection site;
• a needle hub seat axially centered around the aperture and capable of positioning the needle perpendicular to the injection site;
• and
• a tamponade surface integral with the bottom surface of the base plate and configured to tamponade the ocular structure after the intravitreal injection.
