A scleral buckling band and a method for making the same are described.
The scleral buckling band is used for an ophthalmic operation, which is
biocompatible and has a slender cylindrical structure formed by a
decomposable and absorbable material. When being implanted into human
body, the scleral buckling band is degraded and absorbed by the human
body, without causing any immune response. After the patient is
recovered, the scleral buckling band does not need to be taken out
through another operation. Meanwhile, the decomposition rate of the
scleral buckling band within the human body can be controlled through
different preparation manners, so as to cater to different recovery
speeds of different patients. Furthermore, the scleral buckling band
contains different medicine, and after being implanted into human body
and being decomposed, the scleral buckling band releases different
specific medicine as time elapsed.
