Abstract: The tri-plate horizontal mould with nonrigid surgical sponge inserts was developed to establish an industrial system for shaping surgical sponge which is used for cataract operation. The conception on an insertion mechanism of nonrigid flat inserts was firstly suggested by us. The prototype horizontal moulds with tri plate have been designed and manufactured. The experiment results of hundred thousand of times injection shaping have proved that the conception of the design is rational. The structure of shafting mould for nonrigid flats has been confirmed. Present article discussed the design and working mechanism of the insertion in the horizontal injection mould.

Key words: cataract operation, nonrigid flat insert, horizontal injection mould
