evolution of orbital implants and ocular prostheses
DESCRIPTION
Orbital Implants, Eye Spheres, Conformers and Shields are precision made of polymethylmethacrylate; a hard, clear plastic that is lightweight, inert and virtually unbreakable. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Evolution of orbital implants and ocular prostheses
Orbital implants aid in replacing the lost eye in the orbit and allow for realistic movement of an ocular prosthesis. A variety of synthetic and natural materials have been used as orbital implants.
Various Types of Orbital Implants and Features
Orbital Tissue Expander (OTE)
Bioceramic Orbital Implants
Mesh-Wrapped Bioceramic Orbital Implants
Silicone Orbital Implants
Orbital Tissue Expander (OTE)
Can be removed and replaced
Does not require multiple surgeries
Self sealing injection port
Can easily be inflated or deflated without surgery
Bioceramic Orbital Implants
Easy to insert
Low exposure rate
Lightweight
Mesh-Wrapped Bioceramic Orbital Implants
The mesh wrapping incorporated in this type of orbital implant allows the muscles to be sutured directly to the implant.
Silicone Orbital Implants
Silicone implants are more pliable than acrylic, and are also non-porous.
