Overview
AI-generated summary, 27 Sep 2026
Macropore Surgical Barrier Film is a resorbable, malleable sheet made of polylactides (PLA) that acts as a protective wrap for orbital implants. It is used in enucleation surgery to provide soft tissue support and can be cut to the desired shape and size. When heated to approximately 55°C, the film becomes fully malleable, allowing for three-dimensional contouring to anatomical structures.
The device is supplied as a sterile, single-use implant wrap classified under FDA regulation number 886.3320 with product code MTZ and device class II. It received FDA 510(k) clearance (K023643) on February 21, 2003, as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. The film is intended for use in ophthalmic surgical settings and is not MRI conditional unless explicitly stated in the labeling.
