This article introduces the MEDPORE® (from
Porex Surgical, Inc.) motility coupling post
implant. This biocompatable porous implant
is capable of direct integration with the attachment
of a titanium alloy post that imparts motility from
the implant to the artificial eye. Included
in this article are instructions for the ophthalmologist
on attaching the coupling post to the implant, and
instructions for the ocularist for impression-fitting
of the coupling post. Also, brief reviews
of past implants designs are given from Mules glass
ball, Ruedemann's implant-prosthesis, and Stone
and Cutler's integrated peg implants to the present
day implants, the hydroxyapatite (HA) and the MEDPORE®.
