Closed foldable capsular rings

2004

A new foldable capsular tension and bending ring system with a sharp-edged design is described. The closed foldable capsular rings (CFCR) consist of 8 hydrophobic and 8 hydrophilic ring segments. The CFCRs have a 9.2 mm minimum overall diameter. The CFCRs were inserted using various cartridge systems or a two-folded technique with a forceps. The CFCRs were implanted after phacoemulsification through a small (1.6 to 3.2 mm) incision in 104 human adult eyes without intraoperative complications. No postoperative complications such as capsule folds or inward bending were observed over a 6-month follow-up. Posterior capsule opacification was minimal or absent in all eyes.

Implantation of the modified endocapsular bending ring in pediatric cataract surgery using a viscoadaptive viscoelastic agent.

1999

Cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric eyes remain controversial. Using a viscoadaptive viscoelastic agent, we implanted a modified capsular bending ring (CBR) as well as an acrylic IOL with a sharp-optic-edge design in the capsular bag. All operated eyes demonstrated a low postoperative inflammatory reaction and a clinically well-centered IOL. The band-shaped, sharp-edged CBR facilitates the creation of a sharp, discontinuous bend in the equatorial capsule, which prevents anterior and posterior capsule opacification. Combining the viscoadaptive viscoelastic agent and the CBR enhances the safety of primary and secondary posterior chamber IOL implantation in pe…

General Applications of Viscoelastics

2000

The many and diverse physicochemical characteristics of viscoelastic substances impose both their desired and undesired effects clinically. As there is no single ideal substance to meet clinical stipulations, individual viscoelastic characteristics should be considered with respect to demand. Georg Eisner described viscoelastic agents as a tool for space-occupying measures (in tissues, in space or on surfaces) applied by the use of special techniques (Eisner, 1980; Eisner, 1983). In surgery, viscoelastic substances protect tissues and cells from mechanical trauma, serve to separate tissues, occupy space, break away adhesions, stop bleeding, coat, act as manipulative instruments and move tis…
