Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implant (Spherical)

Hydroxyapatite  Orbital Implant (Spherical)

CeraEye Integrated Spherical Orbital Implant / Sphere is made of Synthetic Porous Hydroxyapatite Ca₁₀(P0₄)₆(OH)₂as per know-how developed by Central Glass & Ceramic Reseach Institute, Kolkata (India), a constitutent laboratory of Council of Scientific Industrial Research (CSIR), India. Unlike glass and or polymer based ones with which lots of disadvantages and high rate of exclusion are associated, CeraEye Orbital Spheres are made of Synthetic hydroxyapaptite material, which is both bio compatible and bio active. Term Synthetic refers to manufacturing of Hydroxyapaptite by a process which develops a highly porous, fully inter connected bio compatible ceramic matrix, which is similar in structure to natural bone. Bio compatible means a prosthesis which can fit in the human body without any reaction or rejection. Similarly, bio active means reaction of Hydroxyapatite in a postive manner to form bonds with local cells. Because of this, adjacent tissues integrate with prosthesis and provide stability and motion to the same.

Advantages:

• Made of Bio compatible and Bio active material


• Extremely light weight


• Provide good eye movement


• Has very low exposure problem


• Has Porous structure for Vascularisation meaning design is engineered to be 70% porous with pore sizes ranging from 100 to 300 microns. Result is within six months of surgery, tissues and blood vessels encompass the orbital implant / sphere and as a result implant move freely providing good movement. Porous structure permit fibrovascular ingrowth into the implant which facilitate its stability within the eye socket.
