Transcript

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.
