Custom Designed
For special conditions we deliver custom designed IPS®.

Fixation Ring
The diameter of the artificial pupil is stabilized with the use of an IPS Fixation Ring. This ring counteracts a secondary shrinkage of the capsular bag and stabilizes the artificial aperture.

         
    
     
 The IPS provides occlusion of partial or total iris defects and creates a new iris diaphragm (pupil reconstruction).  The IPS is used in combination with a posterior chamber IOL (for refractive correction) and a Capsular Tension Ring (for stabilizing the capsular bag). The IPS is a custom made device; CE pending.

Elements
The IPS consists of different, combinable elements, based on two basic designs: Single Elements (SE) and Double Elements (DE).

 

The elements are available for either a 3 mm or a 4 mm pupil width. The overall diameter of each element is 10.5 mm.

Some combinations with IPS elements:

Warning
1. The Anterior Segment Reconstruction Prostheses are only available in 4 standard colors and therefore OPHTEC cannot guarantee the perfect color match with the fellow eye;
2. After implantation in the eye the color of the prosthesis might look lighter;
3. For a better evaluation and choice of the color match, we suggest you to consult OPHTEC representatives.

Advantages of the IPS®

-Correction partial or total iris defects
-Optimal control of postoperative artificial pupil diameter
-Standard designs allow for in-house inventory

Colors
Iris Reconstruction Implants are available in black, brown, green and blue. Black implants are made of polycarbonate. Brown, green and blue implants are made of molecularly bound pigment in PMMA.
