Die Erfindung betrifft ein Implantat für das Oberlid eines Menschen.The invention relates to an implant for the upper eyelid of a human.
Bei Menschen, die aufgrund von Lähmungen, Verletzungen oder einer eingeschränkten Funktion des Gesichtsnervs (peripherer Facialsparese) ihre Augenlieder nur noch öffnen aber nicht mehr schließen können, können Implantate aus einem Stoff mit hohem spezifischen Gewicht, vorzugsweise einem Metall, in das Lid implantiert werden. Dieses durch das Implantat bewirkte zusätzliche Gewicht im Augenlid führt beim Nachlassen der Muskelanstrengung durch die Schwerkraft zu einem Herabgleiten des Lids und damit zu einem kompletten Lidschluss. Ein solcher Lidschluss ist notwendig, um ein Austrocknen der Bindehaut des Auges zu verhindern.For people who can only open their eyelids but can no longer close them due to paralysis, injuries or a limited function of the facial nerve (peripheral facial paralysis), implants made of a material with a high specific weight, preferably a metal, can be implanted into the eyelid. This additional weight in the eyelid caused by the implant causes the eyelid to slide down due to gravity when the muscle strain is reduced, thus causing the eyelid to close completely. This type of eyelid closure is necessary to prevent the conjunctiva of the eye from drying out.
Es ist schon aus kosmetischen Gründen wünschenswert, das Implantat sehr klein und dünn zu halten. Als Materialien für das Implantat wurden daher bisher Stoffe, insbesondere Metalle, mit einem hohen spezifischen Gewicht verwendet. Bei den bisher verwendeten Materialien handelt es sich überwiegend um Gold,For cosmetic reasons alone, it is desirable to keep the implant very small and thin. The materials used for the implant have therefore been materials with a high specific weight, particularly metals. The materials used so far are mainly gold,
G 10509 DEG 10509 EN
Tantal, Platin oder Platin-Iridium. Mit solchen Materialien ist es möglich, trotz kleiner Abmessungen des Implantats das notwendige Gewicht des Implantats, das für ein vollständiges Schließen des Lids notwendig ist, zu erreichen.Tantalum, platinum or platinum-iridium. With such materials it is possible to achieve the necessary weight of the implant, which is necessary for complete closure of the eyelid, despite the small dimensions of the implant.
Gegenüber diesen Werkstoffen haben sich in der medizinischen Implantationstechnik Titan, Silikon und PTFE als biokompatiblere Werkstoffe erwiesen. Sie zeigen gegenüber den oben angegebenen Materialien eine bessere Gewebeverträglichkeit. Nachteilig ist aber, dass sie ein relativ geringes spezifisches Gewicht aufweisen. So beträgt das spezifische Gewicht von Titan 4,5 kg/dm3. Gold weist dagegen ein spezifisches Gewicht von 19,3 kg/dm3, Platin von 21,5 kg/dm3 und Iridium von 22,4 kg/dm3 auf. Um das benötigte Gesamtgewicht des Implantats, das einen sicheren Lidschluss gewährt, zu erhalten, müssten die Dimensionen, insbesondere die Dicke des Implantats auf nicht akzeptable Werte erhöht werden.Compared to these materials, titanium, silicone and PTFE have proven to be more biocompatible materials in medical implantation technology. They show better tissue compatibility than the materials mentioned above. The disadvantage, however, is that they have a relatively low specific weight. The specific weight of titanium is 4.5 kg/dm 3 . Gold, on the other hand, has a specific weight of 19.3 kg/dm 3 , platinum 21.5 kg/dm 3 and iridium 22.4 kg/dm 3 . In order to achieve the required total weight of the implant, which ensures secure eyelid closure, the dimensions, in particular the thickness of the implant, would have to be increased to unacceptable values.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Implantat für das Oberlid eines Menschen anzugeben, bei dem biokompatible Stoffe verwendet werden, und das trotzdem in seinen Abmessungen nicht wesentlich größer als bisher bekannte Implantate aus Werkstoffen mit hohem spezifischen Gewicht ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an implant for the upper eyelid of a human being, in which biocompatible materials are used, and which nevertheless is not significantly larger in its dimensions than previously known implants made of materials with a high specific weight.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird mit dem Implantat für das Oberlid eines Menschen, wie es im Hauptanspruch definiert ist, gelöst. Die Unteransprüche geben bevorzugte Weiterbildungen an.The stated object is achieved with the implant for the upper eyelid of a person as defined in the main claim. The subclaims specify preferred further developments.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Implantat für das Oberlid eines Menschen wird als Grundmaterial des Implantats ein Material mit hohem spezifischen Gewicht, wie Gold, Platin, Platin-Iridium, Silber oder Tantal verwendet. Dieses Material wird dann mit einer dünnen Schicht aus Titan, Silikon oder PTFE versehen. Vorzugsweise weist diese Schicht nur eine Dicke von 0,1 bis 100 &mgr;&tgr;&eegr; auf. Bei Verwendung einer Titanschicht kann diese ausIn the implant according to the invention for the upper eyelid of a person, a material with a high specific weight, such as gold, platinum, platinum-iridium, silver or tantalum, is used as the base material of the implant. This material is then provided with a thin layer of titanium, silicone or PTFE. This layer preferably has a thickness of only 0.1 to 100 μιη . If a titanium layer is used, this can be made of
G 10509 DE * - 3 -G 10509 EN * - 3 -
Rein-Titan oder aus einer Titanlegierung hergestellt sein.Pure titanium or made from a titanium alloy.
Grundsätzlich kann das Beschichtungsmaterial auf das Grundmaterial durch verschiedene Verfahren aufgebracht werden. Ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Titan ist die galvanische Beschichtung. Da jedoch Titan in Verbindung mit Sauerstoff sofort eine Titan-Oxid-Schicht bildet und dadurch keine elektrische Leitung stattfinden kann, ist es nur mit sehr großem Aufwand möglich, eine galvanische Schicht aus Titan aufzutragen. In principle, the coating material can be applied to the base material using various methods. One method for applying titanium is electroplating. However, since titanium immediately forms a titanium oxide layer when combined with oxygen and therefore no electrical conduction can take place, it is only possible to apply an electroplated layer of titanium with great effort.
Ein besseres Verfahren für das Aufbringen der Titanschicht auf das Grundmaterial ist das Sputtern. Dieses Verfahren wird vorzugsweise in einer Inertatmosphäre und in einem angenäherten Vakuum, beispielsweise bei einem Druck von 10"2 mbar, durchgeführt. A better method for applying the titanium layer to the base material is sputtering. This process is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere and in an approximate vacuum, for example at a pressure of 10" 2 mbar.
PTFE kann in einem Sprühverfahren aufgetragen werden. Zur Erzeugung einer Silikonschicht ist ein Tauchverfahren besonders zweckmäßig.PTFE can be applied using a spraying process. A dipping process is particularly useful for creating a silicone layer.
Insgesamt wird durch das erfindungsgemäße Implantat für das Oberlid eines Menschen ein Implantat bereitgestellt, das durch seine Außenfläche aus Titan überragende biokompatible Eigenschaften aufweist, und das dennoch annähernd die Größe eines Implantats aus den bisher dafür verwendeten bekannten Materialien mit hohem spezifischen Gewicht aufweist.Overall, the implant according to the invention for the upper eyelid of a human provides an implant which has outstanding biocompatible properties due to its outer surface made of titanium, and which nevertheless has approximately the size of an implant made of the known materials with high specific weight used to date.
Außerdem ermöglicht die Titanschicht auch die Verwendung nicht biokompatibler Materialien wie Blei oder dergleichen für den Implantatgrundkörper, die ein hohes spezifisches Gewicht aufweisen und preiswerter sind als die seither verwendeten biokompatiblen Edelmetalle Gold und Platin.In addition, the titanium layer also enables the use of non-biocompatible materials such as lead or similar for the implant base body, which have a high specific weight and are cheaper than the biocompatible precious metals gold and platinum that have been used up to now.
