When an eye is severely damaged by trauma or disease, it may be necessary to remove it surgically. The most common procedures are evisceration (removal of the contents of the eye) or enucleation (removal of the eye itself). Eye spheres are permanent implants to occupy the cavity that results from surgery. Conformers are temporary devices, which maintain the shape of the eye and prevent closure or adhesion during the healing process. When healing is complete, conformers are replaced with a prosthesis.
The Eye Sphere 16mm from Akriti is a meticulously engineered ophthalmic implant designed for patients who have undergone either evisceration or enucleation due to severe eye trauma or disease. Recognized for its superior quality and biocompatibility, this implant serves as a permanent solution to occupy the cavity left after surgery. This detailed description aims to cover every facet of the Eye Sphere 16mm to ensure that healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers are well-informed about its features, benefits, and technical specifications.
Eye spheres play a crucial role in post-surgical recovery for patients who require the removal of an eye. The primary function of the Eye Sphere 16mm is to occupy the ocular socket after either an evisceration or an enucleation procedure. These surgical interventions are often necessary when the eye is severely damaged by trauma or disease, and preserving the eye is no longer an option.
Post-surgery, an empty socket can lead to a sunken appearance and functional issues. The Eye Sphere 16mm serves as a permanent implant that ensures the cavity maintains its shape, supports the surrounding orbital tissue, and provides a base for fitting a prosthetic eye.
Biocompatibility: Made from medical-grade materials, the Eye Sphere 16mm boasts exceptional biocompatibility, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
Ideal Size: At 16mm, the sphere is designed to fit a wide range of ocular sockets, providing substantial volume to match the natural eye’s size.
Surface Texture: The surface of the sphere is finely polished to ensure smooth interaction with surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of irritation and promoting tissue integration.
Radiopacity: The material composition is engineered to be radiopaque, facilitating straightforward post-operative evaluations through imaging technologies.
Stability and Durability: Engineered to withstand the physical demands of the ocular environment, the Eye Sphere 16mm provides lasting stability.
Akriti’s Eye Sphere 16mm is constructed using the latest advancements in biomaterials, ensuring both safety and functionality.
Medical-grade Polymers: These polymers are chosen for their proven record of safety and minimal risk of immune response.
Silicone: Often used for its flexibility and inert properties, silicone ensures that the implant conforms well to the existing anatomy.
Hydroxyapatite Coating: Some variants may include a hydroxyapatite coating, which enhances bone integration and tissue ingrowth, offering additional stability and security within the socket.
The Eye Sphere 16mm is indicated for the following scenarios:
Before opting for the Eye Sphere 16mm implantation, several key factors need to be assessed:
Patient’s Medical History: A thorough review of the patient’s overall health, including any potential for allergic reactions to implant materials.
Socket Anatomy: Detailed imaging studies to determine the size and shape of the ocular socket, ensuring the 16mm sphere will be an appropriate fit.
Counseling: Patients should be adequately informed about the procedure, postoperative care, and the expected outcomes.
The implantation of the Eye Sphere 16mm involves precise and careful surgery. Here is a general overview of the steps involved:
Anesthesia: The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.
Incision: An incision is made in the conjunctiva to access the socket.
Preparation of the Socket: The surgeon prepares the ocular cavity by removing residual tissues and ensuring a clean surgical site.
Implant Placement: The Eye Sphere 16mm is carefully inserted into the prepared socket. Positioning is adjusted to ensure a stable fit.
Closure: The conjunctiva is sutured back in place, and temporary conformers may be used to maintain the shape during the healing process.
Postoperative Care: Follow-up visits and imaging studies are crucial to monitor the implant’s integration and address any complications early on.
