Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement of intrastromal segments to be used in the field of ophthalmology and preferably.
- the intracorneal rings are two methacrylate arches used in ophthalmology as a surgical alternative in order to avoid keratoplasty in the treatment of corneal ectasias. Once implanted, they have the function of regularizing said surface and trying to stop the evolution of the pathology. They partially or totally correct the astigmatism characteristic of keratoconus disease, improving visual acuity. The surgeon places them facing each other in the form of a ring inside the cornea, in their peripheral area, guided by a pre-dried channel with a specific dissector that tunnels. 4. Among the most frequent interventions are patients affected by keratoconus, marginal pellucid degeneration and corneal irregularities that occur after having undergone laser surgery.
- the intracorneal segments were used since 1978 with different purposes and of different materials, such as dissected corneal stroma, Polysulfones and different types of aerifico.
- an intrastromal link arrangement for use in the field of ophthalmology, the arrangement being characterized in that it comprises a plurality of interconnected links, each of the links having a specific geometric configuration. , wherein said geometric configuration varies depending on the ophthalmologic condition to be treated, said interconnection between said links is performed in a pivotal and flexible manner.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the arrangement object of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the arrangement of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a plan view taken from above of the arrangement of Figure 1; and Figures 4a and 4b are perspective views of the links or segments comprising the arrangement of Figure 1.
- said arrangement 1 is comprised of a plurality of links or segments 2, which each have a specific geometric configuration, which varies depending on the ophthalmologic condition to be treated.
- the segments 2 are interconnected with each other by interconnection means 3.
- interconnection means are defined by a female connector 4 disposed at the proximal end 5 of the link 2 and by a male connector 6 which is arranged at the distal end 7 of said link 3. It is important to note that the interconnection between links 2 is carried out in a flexible manner. This allows the displacement of the links to be lateral, while avoiding anteroposterior displacement.
- the links and preferably those illustrated in Figures 4a and 4b, it can be seen that they have a substantially rectangular shape, presenting an upper face 8 and a lower face 9.
- the upper face 8 has a substantially convex curvature 10.
- the upper face 8 of the link in Figure 4b has a flat half portion 11 and perimeter edges 12 with a chamfering each edge 12. It is important to note that in this particular embodiment, said chamfering at the edges 12 of link 2, it has an inclination between 10 ° to 40 ° and preferably between 17 ° to 35 °.
- the intracorneal segments may have different profiles of inclination, design and base.
- the intracorneal segments are small implants made of rigid medical grade acrylic (PMMA) which pass the tolerance and compatibility tests with the corneal tissue where they are housed. Since they are rigid, when implanted in a viscoelastic structure in the shape of a prolata ellipse such as the cornea, it deforms this structure, in a different way, depending on the implants. For example, flat implants have an effect, while conical ones with inclinations ranging from 17th and 34th will have other effects.
- the segments act by different mechanisms, one is due to the thickness changes of the same, being greater thickness greater effect, less thickness less effect. Its effect also changes according to the diameter, the smaller the diameter, the greater the effect and the greater the diameter, the less effect.
- the links or segments are rigid to the upper-lower torsion, a quality necessary to have a lasting corneal effect.
- each one of them has different inclinations, designs and even different bases, thus also changing the volume and diameter.
- Keratoconus is a congenital, inherited disease that is characterized by a progressive non-inflammatory corneal deformation: it has 4 evolutionary stages that lead from a slight corneal deformation imperceptible to the loss of the corneal structure and function that a corneal graft needs, and so Everything has no cure now.
- These types of deformations are totally asymmetrical, central, Paracentral and peripheral of which there are many descriptions and patterns described.
- the design of the segments included in the arrangement allows easy placement in a predetermined place, where the Femto Laser makes the tunnel and creates the channel where they are going to stay, and once in that place the only force necessary for its effect is that it opposes the torsion that the tissue will undergo
- the segments are made of rigid materials such as the current ones, that is, polymethylmethacrylate. It is important to note that they can be made of porous material (or that it has microtunnels), allowing the insertion of cell culture inside.
