Orbital Tissue Expander (OTE)

Can be removed and replaced

Does not require multiple surgeries

Self sealing injection port

Can easily be inflated or deflated without surgery

Bioceramic Orbital Implants

Easy to insert

Low exposure rate

Lightweight

Mesh-Wrapped Bioceramic Orbital Implants

The mesh wrapping incorporated in this type of orbital implant allows the muscles to be sutured directly to the implant.

Silicone Orbital Implants

Silicone implants are more pliable than acrylic, and are also non-porous.
