Welcome to IFGL Bio Ceramics Limited
:: CeraEye Integrated Orbital Implants ::


Orbital implants are based on synthetic porous Hydroxyapatite material. Ca10(P04)6(OH)2

Advantages of Hydroxyapatite Material :

• Biocompatible
• Bioactive
• Synthetically Processed

Superiority of Porous Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implant :

• Biocompatible and Bioactive Material
• Extremely Lightweight
• Porous Structure for Vascularisation : Orbital implant design is engineered to be 70 % porous with pore sizes ranging from 100 to 300 microns .The result is within six months of surgery ,tissues and blood vessels encompass the orbital implant and as a result this will move freely providing good movement.The structure of the porous model permits fibrovascular ingrowth into the implant which facilitates stability within the eye socket.

Salient Features of Orbital Implants:

• Inert And Biocompatible
• Biochemically Stable
• Light Weight
• In Conoid And Spherical Design
• Smaller Than Eye Ball
• Centered Within Muscle Cone
• Integration To Eo Muscle
• Anchored To Orbital Tissue
• Stability And Integration In Eye Socket
• Resilient
• Much More Increased Motility
• Operational Convenience
• Direct Integration With Prosthesis

Technology Support :

Technology developed by central glass & ceramic research institute , calcutta a constituent laboratory of council of scientific industrial research (csir) india , with support of society of biomedical technology ( sbmt ) promoted by defence research and development organisation ( drdo )and department of science & technology ( dst ) government of india
