A device is described herein for performing capsulotomies that improves temperature uniformity and current flow around a cutting element of the device. The device includes a series of features whose geometries help remove cold and/or hot spots from the cutting element while maintaining the mechanical strength of the cutting element. In an embodiment, a device includes a cutting element and one or more electrical leads for providing an electrical discharge to the cutting element. The device further includes wire tabs configured to conductively couple an electrical lead to cutting element. Each wire tab includes a central conductive path and one or more conductive shunt paths conductively separated by one or more slots. The device further includes anchor tabs that are each associated with a slot disposed along the circumference of the cutting element and positioned to at least partially separate an anchor tab from a portion of the cutting element.

Ring design for capsulotomy device

A device is described herein for performing capsulotomies that improves suction uniformity and produces rolled capsulotomy edges. The device includes a suction cup that forms a tapered circumferential suction chamber which enables suction to be applied to a tissue in a first direction. The tapered circumferential suction chamber decreases in cross-sectional area from a proximal end of the device towards a distal end of the device. The device further includes a stem coupled to the suction cup to provide suction to the suction cup. The stem forms a neck that enables fluid flow to the suction cup in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The device further includes a cutting element configured to excise the tissue.
