MEDPOR Ocular Implants provide surgeons with porous biocompatible
implants for orbital reconstruction following enucleation and evisceration
procedures. The interconnecting, omni directional pore structure
of the MEDPOR Biomaterial allows for rapid vascularization and soft
tissue ingrowth.
Surgeons may select from sphere implant diameters of 14 mm to 22
mm. A resterilizable sizer set is available for selecting the appropriate
implant diameter at the time of surgery.
The MEDPOR Biomaterial may be easily shaped with a scalpel. The
lightweight property of MEDPOR Biomaterial, the biocompatibility
of the porous polyethylene and the ability to place the implant
deep in the socket contribute to the overall popularity of this
implant.
Motility may be enhanced by suturing the extra ocular muscles directly
to the implant or to an overlying fascia or scleral wrap. As with
all orbital implants, it is important to have a tension free closure
over the implant.
Implants are provided STERILE, packaged individually in double
peel pouches.
