Designed in Conjunction with Peter A.D. Rubin, M.D.

Unique design elements have been incorporated into the overall conical shape, including a flat anterior surface, superior projection and channels for the rectus muscles. The redistributed volume of the superior aspect of the implant is designed to help reduce the post operative superior sulcus defect.

The implant is designed to: (1) fill the void volume resulting from an enucleated eye; (2) provide a method for reattaching the rectus muscles; and (3)provide a compatible surface for an overlying ocular prosthesis.

Patent #5,466,258

Implants are provided STERILE, packaged individually in double peel pouches.
