Presentation Transcript

  1. 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.

  2. Various Types of Orbital Implants and Features • Orbital Tissue Expander (OTE) • Bioceramic Orbital Implants • Mesh-Wrapped Bioceramic Orbital Implants • Silicone Orbital Implants

  3. 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

  4. Bioceramic Orbital Implants • Easy to insert • Low exposure rate • Lightweight

  5. 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.

  6. Silicone Orbital Implants Silicone implants are more pliable than acrylic, and are also non-porous.
