IRIS PROSTHETIC SYSTEM (IPS)
|
The "Iris Prosthetic System" (IPS®, designed by H. Hermeking, MD,
Germany) consists of different standard combinable elements and is used
for artificial iris reconstruction.
The IPS provides occlusion of partial or total iris defects and creates a new iris diaphragm (pupil reconstruction). The IPS is used in combination with a posterior chamber IOL (for refractive correction) and a Capsular Tension Ring (for stabilizing the capsular bag). Elements
The IPS consists of different, combinable elements, based on two basic designs: Single Elements (SE) and Double Elements (DE). The elements are available for either a 3 mm or a 4 mm pupil width. The overall diameter of each element is 10.5 mm. Double elements are also available for a 4 mm pupil width and an overall diameter of 11 mm. Fixation Ring The diameter of the artificial pupil is stabilized with the use of an IPS Fixation Ring. This ring counteracts a secondary shrinkage of the capsular bag and stabilizes the artificial aperture. |

Advantages of the IPS®
-Correction of partial or total iris defects
-Optimal control of postoperative artificial pupil diameter
-Standard designs allow for in-house inventory
Custom Designed
For special conditions we deliver custom designed IPS®.
Colors
Iris Reconstruction Implants are available in black, brown, green and blue. Black implants are made of polycarbonate. Brown, green and blue implants are made of molecularly bound pigment in PMMA.
Warning
1. The Anterior Segment Reconstruction Prostheses are only available in 4 standard colors and therefore OPHTEC cannot guarantee the perfect color match with the fellow eye;
2. After implantation in the eye the color of the prosthesis might look lighter;
3. For a better evaluation and choice of the color match, we suggest you to consult OPHTEC representatives.
