| | Product Description | |
| Long-term biocompatibility is established. Provides a robust and durable drainage system. Preplaced suture holes ensure correct positioning on the globe. Pressure Ridge Molteno® Implants have a subsidiary ridge which, when covered by Tenon’s tissue, acts as a Pressure sensitive ‘biological valve’, limiting postoperative hypotony. The range of implants allows the surgeon to choose the drainage area according to the severity of the glaucoma. Double Plate Molteno® Implants have twice the drainage area of Single Plate Molteno® Implants. The twin plate design gives a large drainage area while avoiding interference with the extraocular muscles. Choice of left or right eye configurations. Insertion is well described and straightforward. The surgeon may select from a variety of ligature or stent procedures to improve the control of postoperative hypotony and bleb fibrosis. | |
