Abstract
An injector of intracorneal segments has a disposable segment holding head comprising a lancet (36) formed with a housing closed by the lid (37) wherein a sterilized corneal segment (11) is housed, behind which there is a needle (26) longitudinally slidable under the action of a trigger (31) and a spring (32). The head also has a manual selector (38) to deflect the needle to place the segment at 90° of the head to the right or left of a channel made in the cornea for injection. The segment pre-installed in the head is provided with recesses formed by knurling (16) on its outer chord (14) where it couples to the needle for the push.
