Comparison of different biomaterials for glaucoma drainage devices.
OBJECTIVES To compare the inflammatory reaction associated with the insertion of silicone and polypropylene endplates and endplates made of a new biocompatible polymer, Vivathane, in the rabbit subconjunctival space. METHODS Similar-sized endplates made of 3 different biomaterials were sutured to the sclera in the superotemporal quadrant of the rabbit eye. Thirty eyes of 15 albino New Zealand...

BACKGROUND Inflammation associated with biomaterials may contribute to the failure of glaucoma drainage devices. OBJECTIVE To compare the inflammatory reaction associated with the insertion of Krupin silicone, Molteno polypropylene, and Acrosof end plates in the subconjunctival space of rabbits. METHODS Similar-sized glaucoma end plates made of 3 different biomaterials were sutured to the s...
متن کاملComparison of Six Different Silicones In Vitro for Application as Glaucoma Drainage Device
Silicones are widely used in medical applications. In ophthalmology, glaucoma drainage devices are utilized if conservative therapies are not applicable or have failed. Long-term success of these devices is limited by failure to control intraocular pressure due to fibrous encapsulation. Therefore, different medical approved silicones were tested in vitro for cell adhesion, cell proliferation an...
متن کاملGlaucoma drainage implants: a critical comparison of types.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to critically compare the various glaucoma drainage implants in popular use. RECENT FINDINGS Glaucoma drainage implants are being increasingly utilized in the surgical management of glaucoma. Comparisons between the various drainage implants are difficult because most clinical data are derived from retrospective studies with different study popu...
