PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide carriers, assemblies and methods which reduce production time, reduce production costs and increase productivity of a biomedical device, for example, a contact lens.SOLUTION: A biomedical device carrier (10) includes multiple recesses (20) for holding a plurality of polymerized biomedical devices, such as polymerized ophthalmic lenses, during an extraction procedure. A biomedical device extraction assembly (60) includes multiple biomedical device carriers. The structure of the individual carriers and the arrangement of the carriers in the assembly provide sufficient extraction of an extractable component from the biomedical devices during an extraction procedure using relatively small amounts of extraction media per biomedical device. Methods of extracting biomedical devices include the step of providing polymerized biomedical devices in the carriers and assemblies and the step of contacting the devices with an extraction composition.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体医用器具、例えばコンタクトレンズの製造時間の短縮、製造費の減少、生産性の向上を可能にするキャリヤ、組立体及び方法を提供する。【解決手段】生体医用器具キャリヤ(10)は抽出操作中、複数個の重合生体医用器具、例えば重合オフサルミックレンズを保持する多数の凹部(20)を有する。生体医用器具用抽出組立体(60)は、多数の生体医用器具キャリヤを含む。個々のキャリヤの構造及び組立体内でのキャリヤの配置状態は生体医用器具一個あたり比較的少量の抽出用媒体を用いる抽出操作の際に生体医用器具からの抽出可能な成分の十分な抽出を可能にする。生体医用器具の抽出操作を行う方法は重合生体医用器具を本発明のキャリヤ及び組立体に収納した状態で用意するステップと、重合生体医用器具を抽出用配合物に接触させるステップとを有する。【選択図】図1
