Ecto Prosthesis
Ecto prosthesis is an orbital prosthesis, to which artificially made eyelids are attached to cover a facial defect in the orbital area. Such prosthesis is needed in several cases:
- after surgical removal of eyeball together with both eyelids or eyeball with partial evacuation of the orbit content, when a marked scar of eyelids and mucous membrane develop due to radiating the scar, and as a result of which the regular prosthesis does not last in its place, since no socket has remained in eyelid arches;
- after traumatic damage to the eyeball and eyelids and when inserting the cosmetic ocular prosthesis is impossible due to a missing socket.
Special material of the prosthesis is individually adjusted to the curves of facial bones and color of the skin. Artificial eyelids with lashes and suitable reproduction of eyeball is made in the middle of the ecto prosthesis. Ecto prosthesis is made of plastic and attached to facial skin with a special adhesive. A very natural effect can be achieved by applying a little make-up.
