Bioabsorbable scleral buckling devices are implanted on the eye’s white outer layer (sclera) to physically support and compress the retina, helping to reattach it during retinal detachment surgery. These devices provide mechanical stabilization while the retina heals, reducing the risk of further detachment.
These devices are typically classified as surgical implants and must comply with strict biocompatibility and structural integrity standards. They are often supplied sterile and intended for single-use, though some may be designed for partial absorption over time. Regulations vary by jurisdiction, but all must meet safety and performance requirements for ocular implants.
