A New Implant for Deep Sclerectomy: Esnoper®
نویسنده
چکیده
Newer non-reabsorbing implants have been developed to maintain the hypotensor effect of nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy. In this article the authors discuss a new non-reabsorbing implant with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (Esnoper®, AJL Ophthalmics, SA, Miñano, Alava, Spain), its design, technique of implantation and the available scientific evidence.

PURPOSE To intraindividually compare the efficacy and safety of the SKGEL(®) implant versus the T-Flux(®) implant in deep sclerectomy. METHODS In a retrospective analysis 17 patients were identified who underwent combined phacoemulsification-deep sclerectomy and implantation of SKGEL(®) in one eye and T-Flux(®) in the contralateral eye. RESULTS In eyes with SKGEL(®) the IOP decreased from 2...

PURPOSE To describe a staining technique that will enhance the visualization of non-absorbable T-Flux implants. METHODS The technique was applied to non-absorbable T-Flux implants. The implants were submerged for 5 to 10 minutes in a sodium fluorescein solution, and dried with a sponge when removed from the solution. DISCUSSION This is a very simple and easy procedure that uses a common flu...
