Superior IOL Delivery Systems
Since developing its first foldable intraocular lens more than 25 years ago, STAAR Surgical Company has remained at the forefront of IOL technology.
The company's IOL delivery system product line features the Epiphany Injector System, the nanoPOINT Single Use Injector System and the MicroSTAAR injector with Micro Tip Cartridge. Both delivery systems allow for unmatched control and a sterile IOL delivery through a micrometer incision. Each MicroSTAAR injector is made of an autoclavable material which can be re-sterilized for multiple uses and comes with either a micrometer advance (twist style) or a syringe advance (plunger style). The nanoPOINT Single Use Injector features an easy to load and inject mechanism that helps optimize safe surgical outcomes by maintaining IOL insertion through a 2.2 mm micro-incision. The Epiphany Injector System, designed specifically for use with the Afinity™ Collamer 3-Piece Aspheric NTIOL, represents a new era of insertion devices-providing greater control, unique flexibility and ease of delivery.
Whether you prefer micrometer precision or the tactile feel of a syringe, the STAAR Surgical Company provides a smart choice of state-of-the-art IOL delivery systems to help you achieve excellence in foldable lens implantation.

The nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL Delivery System with Our nanoPOINT™ Injector
This nanoPOINT™ Single Use Injector System is specifically designed for the easy loading and smooth delivery of STAAR Surgical nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL through a micro-incision.
nanoPOINT™ Single Use Injector System
nanoPOINT™ offers the versatility to work within 2.2 mm incisions
- There is a paradigm shift in cataract and refractive surgery to sub 3.0 mm micro incisions
- An approximate 2.2 mm incision is recommended for micro-incisional cataract surgery (MICS)
- With The STAAR® nanoPOINT™, achieving excellent visual outcomes is now within reach
The shift to micro incisions is significant
- The smaller incision size may help reduce surgically induced astigmatism, improve chamber maintenance during the surgical procedure and reduce healing time for the patient
- Modern phacoemulsification systems are making safe cataract surgery even safer by creating smaller incisions
- The nanoPOINT™ will help optimize safe surgical outcomes by maintaining IOL insertion through a 2.2 mm incision
nanoPOINT™ utilizes a cutting edge delivery system and a premium IOL
- Easy to load and includes a loading block
- Precise lens positioning via a highly accurate plunger style delivery mechanism
- Soft silicone tip potentially minimizes lens tear rate and complications
- STAAR® nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL design is simple to inject through the 2.2 mm incision
nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL utilizes Collamer to provide excellent visual acuity
- Collamer material gives the IOL the flexibility and durability to be injected micro-incisionally
- Collamer inhibits protein adhesion and deposition and provides unparalleled IOL biocompatibility
- Collamer offers impressive optical performance through reduction of optical aberrations1
Experience a high degree of safety and performance with nanoPOINT™
- Complements the new micro-incisional surgical procedures
- Easy to load and inject mechanism with a soft silicone tip
- Precisely delivers and positions the STAAR nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL
- nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL utilizes Collamer material to provide exceptional quality of vision
Device description
The sterile, single use nanoPOINT™ INJECTOR SYSTEM is a device to implant STAAR nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL (Collamer 1P IOL). The delivery system provides a tubular pathway through an incision over the iris, to the center of the pupil. The IOL may then be gently injected from the tube into the eye. The nanoPOINT™ INJECTOR SYSTEM consists of three parts:
- The nanoPOINT™ INJECTOR with silicone tip
- The nanoPOINT™ Loading Block
- The nanoPOINT™ Cartridge
Box contents
(10) nanoPOINT™ Single Use Lens Injector Systems
Indication for use
The nanoPOINT™ INJECTOR SYSTEM is indicated for folding and injecting the STAAR nanoFLEX™ Collamer Aspheric Single-Piece IOL (Collamer 1P IOL) into the capsular bag following extracapsular cataract extraction.
Contraindications
Use of the STAAR Injector with other intraocular implants, or with Cartridges that have not been tested and approved by STAAR Surgical Company.
