Orbital Implants

Enucleation and Evisceration Products — Bioceramic Orbital Implants, Silicone Eye Spheres, and More

Bioceramic orbital implants from FCI Ophthalmics — and associated ophthalmic surgical devices — provide physicians who perform enucleation and evisceration procedures with highly effective treatment options. FCI offers silicone eye spheres and three unique choices of bioceramic orbital implants. Like all FCI products, each of our orbital implants is FDA approved for commercial distribution.

OTE – Orbital Tissue Expander

For the treatment of anophthalmia and microphthalmia. The OTE, consists of a flexible "balloon/expander" held in place by a titanium fixation plate that is anchored to the lateral orbital wall by screws. A slotted arm attached to the fixation plate, extends through a slot that is formed within the OTE. The OTE will be self-centered in the expanding socket as the orbit grows. A 30 gauge disposable hypodermic needle connected to a 1cc disposable syringe filled with sterile saline is inserted into the OTE through an injection port. The injection track seals upon the removal of the needle. Inflation of the OTE will affect pressure on the orbit of the patient.

Features

• Implanted using standard oculoplastic surgical techniques
• Does not require multiple surgeries
• Multiple fixation areas on bone plate; allows for fixation point change as child grows
• Can easily be inflated or deflated without surgery
• Inflation and deflation can be controlled by the doctor
• Self sealing injection port
• Can be removed and replaced

Bioceramic Orbital Implants — Overview

With an improved structure for vascularization and integration that is biocompatible, bioinert, nontoxic, and nonallergenic, FCI bioceramic orbital implants are stable, easily handled, and less sticky than other alternatives.

Features

• Porous, strong, non-brittle
• Rapid and complete fibrovascularization
• Lightweight (half the weight of HA)
• Easy to insert (no Velcro® effect)
• Moistened wrapped implant readily slips into orbit
• Can be easily sutured to extra ocular muscles
• Low exposure rate

Mesh-Wrapped Bioceramic Orbital Implants

Mesh-wrapped bioceramic orbital implants from FCI are made of porous, strong, non-brittle biomaterial alumina. The vinyl mesh wrapping incorporated in this type of orbital implant allows the muscles to be sutured directly to the implant. Furthermore, the extensive pore system of FCI mesh-wrapped implants enhances fibrovascular ingrowth, which prevents the implant from migrating, allows the secure attachment of extraocular muscles, and improves implant motility.

Bioceramic Orbital Implants

Bioceramic orbital implants from FCI Ophthalmics provide physicians with an effective means for facilitating enucleation and evisceration procedures. The implants insert easily into the orbital socket and do not cling to surrounding tissue. The improved connectivity that occurs between pores enhances vascularization, and the implants may be easily drilled without crumbling.

Perforated Conformers

Perforated conformers from FCI Ophthalmics maintain the conjunctival cul-de-sacs after enucleation or evisceration without hindering lid closure. The perforations allow drainage of secretions and administration of drops.
