EverPatch+
Implantation Animation
EverPatch+ is a permanent scleral reinforcement matrix. It is the first synthetic and non-degradable tissue substitute for use in ocular surface surgeries. EverPatch+ is poised to displace the use of donor and processed tissue, which eventually degrades and carries the risk of disease transmission.
EverPatch+ composed of a non-woven, polymer matrix, that progressively integrates with surrounding tissue and is intended to reinforce the sclera and aid the physical reconstruction of the ocular surface.
“The ideal graft material should be long-lasting, sterile, immunologically inactive, cosmetically acceptable, and readily available,” states Seminars in Ophthalmology*. The EverPatch+ was designed with these goals in mind.
