<p>A coating for an orbital implant has an anterior portion having a different bioabsorbability than a posterior portion. This allows the implant to have an insertion surface, to reduce irritation, to prevent implant exposure, and to anchor muscles. The coating has a visual indicator to facilitate orientation. Shell materials are further selected to allow for sterile packaging, to secure therapeutic agents thereon, and to secure the coating to the core. Passageways enhance fluid flow to and from the core, and expose the core surface to muscles. The passageways are sized and shaped to reduce irritation. In an alternate embodiment, the anterior coating portion has a vaulted zone creating a gap between the undersurface of the coating and the outer surface of the core through which a suture can easily pass. Perforations through the coating provide targets for passage of the suture through the coating.</p> |
