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 MoltenoŽ Implants have a subsidiary ridge which, when covered by Tenons 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 MoltenoŽ Implants have twice the drainage area of Single Plate MoltenoŽ 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.
