IMPLANT FOR REPAIRING POST-TRAUMATIC DEFECTS AND DEFORMATIONS OF EYE-PIT BOTTOM AND WALLS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61L27/56 A61L27/14 A61F2/14 A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, particularly to ophthalmic and maxillofacial surgery, and aims at repairing post-traumatic defects and deformations of the eye-pit bottom and walls. What is described is an implant in the form of a solid perforated plate which is formed by photocuring of a light curing composition; when heated the implant (a cure temperature 70-90°C) keeps the shape after self-cooling that provides high strength and biocompatible properties of the material. The cure temperature of the material is much higher than a temperature of a human body that ensures maintaining the physical and mechanical properties of the implant inserted in the human body, namely the material remains strong, when fixed it shows no cutting and breaking. Before the implantation, the plate is heated to the required temperature and bent so that it is congruently repeats the eye-pit shape in a place of the defect, overlaps the defect and supports the eye in the right anatomical position.

EFFECT: reducing the likelihood of graft rejection and reducing a quantity of various complications by improving the biocompatible properties of the material.
