Abstract:
The most widely used material for covering spherical intraorbital implants is sclera. Mersilene mesh is an alternative substance combining the advantages of permanent implant cover with low rates of infection and ready availability. We describe our experiences in the use of Mersilene mesh covered intraorbital implants in 14 patients. Our findings suggest that Mersilene mesh could be considered as a possible alternative choice of material for covering intraorbital implants.
