Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a top, front, left perspective view of an opthalmic brachytherapy device showing my new design in an exploded configuration for clarity of disclosure;



FIG. 2 is a left side elevation view thereof;



FIG. 3 is a right side elevation view thereof;



FIG. 4 is a top elevation view thereof;



FIG. 5 is a bottom elevation view thereof;



FIG. 6 is a back view, shown in an alternative configuration for clarity of disclosure;



FIG. 7 is a front view thereof; and,



FIG. 8 is another top, front, left perspective view, shown in an assembled configuration for clarity of disclosure.


In FIGS. 1-7, portions of the opthalmic brachytherapy device illustrated in dash-dash broken lines form no part of the claimed design.


In FIGS. 1-8, the curved broken-away lines indicate break lines that are understood to indicate unclaimed length or width, and any portion of the device between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for an opthalmic brachytherapy device, as shown and described.
