14345 - Symblepharon Rings, Small (20mm)

Symblepharon Rings keep ocular fornices formed after surgery. Available in three sizes, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm. Also known as Open Fornices Conformers.

Symblepharon rings, also known as open fornices conformers, in three sizes, small (20mm), medium (22mm) and large (24mm). The Symblepharon rings are effective in keeping ocular fornices formed after surgery, in situations where conjunctival cicatricial disease is present, or after ocular trauma such as chemical burns or avulsion of the conjunctiva. The rings prevent adhesions and shortening or retraction of the fornices and cul-de-sacs without touching the cornea. The rings help reduce scarring and keep the eyelids away from an irritable or irritated eye, helping to keep the patient more comfortable. In the case of surgery or trauma, they should be inserted as soon as possible to prevent adhesions and/or shortening of the fornices and cul-de-sacs.

The rings are constructed of translucent polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA), their edges are highly polished, and they are atraumatic.
