BIORING

Intrastromal Corneal Ring

BIORING is implantable device for the correction of surface irregularities of cornea & reduction of refractive errors associated with keratoconus & other corneal ectasia.

BIORING implantation is indicated to improve the patient’s visual acuity, reduce or eliminate the refractive error & stabilize cornea which avoids or delays need of corneal transplantation.

FEATURES

  • Minimizing Corneal Transplantation Necessity: By providing an alternative approach to addressing corneal irregularities and refractive errors, BIORING offers patients a less invasive and more efficient treatment option.
  • Variable Arc Lengths and Thicknesses: BIORING offers surgeons a spectrum of options with its variable arc lengths and thicknesses. This versatility empowers them to customize treatment plans according to the specific needs of individual patients, ensuring precise and tailored interventions for optimal results.
  • Structural Benefits: The design features of BIORING, including its round apex and base design options, offer structural benefits that minimize disturbances to the post-operative integrity of the corneal stroma. By preserving the structural integrity of the cornea, BIORING ensures long-term stability and durability of the correction, reducing the risk of complications and optimizing visual outcomes.
  • Greater Refractive Correction: Addressing a wide range of refractive errors, BIORING excels in correcting low, moderate, and high degrees of myopia and astigmatism. Its comprehensive approach to refractive correction enhances visual acuity and reduces dependence on corrective lenses, significantly improving the quality of life for patients.
  • User-Friendly Online Calculator: BIORING simplifies treatment planning through its user-friendly online calculator, accessible via www.biotechcalculators.com. This innovative tool enables surgeons to accurately determine the most appropriate segment for each patient, streamlining decision-making and ensuring precise treatment delivery.

INGREDIENTS

BIORING, an implantable device for corneal irregularity correction, comprises primarily of biocompatible materials suitable for ophthalmic use. Key ingredients include polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), a biocompatible synthetic polymer renowned for its stability and compatibility with ocular tissues. The precise formulation is meticulously crafted to ensure optimal safety and efficacy in addressing corneal irregularities and refractive errors. This composition underscores BIORING’s reliability as a trusted solution for improving visual acuity and enhancing the quality of life for patients undergoing ophthalmic procedures.

OPERATIONS

BIORING is utilized in various ophthalmic procedures aimed at correcting corneal irregularities and reducing refractive errors. It finds application in operations such as the treatment of keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, post-LASIK ectasia, irregular astigmatism, and high astigmatism secondary to penetrating keratoplasty. Additionally, BIORING is employed in cases of progressive keratoconus and post-trauma corneal irregularities. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable tool for ophthalmic surgeons seeking to enhance visual acuity, stabilize the cornea, and improve patient outcomes across a spectrum of corneal ectatic conditions and refractive errors.

ADVANTAGES

  • Improved Quality of Life: BIORING leads to a substantial improvement in the quality of life for patients by significantly enhancing visual acuity and reducing dependence on corrective measures. The enhanced visual clarity and comfort achieved with BIORING contribute to improved patient satisfaction and overall treatment success.
  • Reversibility: BIORING offers a unique reversibility feature, allowing it to be safely explanted in the event of mild infection or other complications. This capability ensures that the cornea can return to its original shape, preserving treatment options and providing reassurance to both patients and surgeons.
  • Compatibility with Other Procedures: BIORING seamlessly integrates with various ophthalmic procedures, including corneal collagen cross-linking, photorefractive keratectomy, and phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. This compatibility enhances treatment flexibility and expands the scope of potential applications, optimizing patient outcomes.
  • Quick Visual Recovery: Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, BIORING facilitates rapid visual recovery, allowing patients to resume normal activities soon after the procedure. Refractive and topographic changes typically stabilize within three months, ensuring a swift return to optimal visual function.
