Equine pericardium effectively closed scleral and corneal perforations in an emergency setting. While generally safe, long-term efficacy requires further study, especially for non-infectious ocular conditions.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Biomaterials Science
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Scleral and corneal perforations pose significant risks to ocular integrity.
- Limited availability of suitable graft materials can complicate emergency management.
- Exploring novel biomaterials is crucial for addressing unmet surgical needs.
