MEDPOR® Lower Eyelid Spacers
|
|
Designed with James Patrinely, MD, FACS, and Charles N. S. Soparkar, MD, PhD.
MEDPOR® Lower Eyelid Spacer Implants, measuring 27 mm long by 16 mm wide by
0.45 mm thick, are molded to the shape of the lower eyelid and are used to
provide internal support in the cases of lower eyelid retraction. The superior
edge of the implant has a smaller pore structure, resulting in a smoother edge.
These preformed shapes, available in left and right designs, expedite the
surgical procedure and reduce operating room costs and time by eliminating
the need to harvest auricular or hard palate grafts.
The new Thin Lower Eyelid Spacer is designed thinner and more flexible
than standard MEDPOR Lower Eyelid Spacers and does not have an inherent
curved shape, so it may be used in the right or left eyelid.
The MEDPOR Lower Eyelid Spacer is an excellent reconstructive option
for correcting lower eyelid retraction caused by Graves' disease,
over-resected lower lid tissue due to blepharoplasty, eyelid paralysis
and senile ectropion.
The implants are shaped like the lower eyelid and are used to provide
internal support in cases of lower eyelid retraction. The superior edge
of the implants has a smaller pore structure, resulting in a smoother edge.
Implants are provided STERILE, and packaged individually in double-peel
pouches.
