A technique for achieving an optimal flange size with 5-0 polypropylene and 6-0 polypropylene used for flanged intrascleral intraocular lens fixation is described. Flange size in polypropylene sutures is dependent on heating length and independent of forceps grip during heating. It was identified that heating of 1 mm created the optimal flange size for a 5-0 polypropylene suture when used for a 27-gauge needle scleral tunnel and for a 6-0 polypropylene suture when used for a 30-gauge needle scleral tunnel. Alternatively, 2 mm heating of a 6-0 polypropylene suture fits well for a 27-gauge needle tunnel. Even gentle forceps grip caused flattening of the polypropylene sutures but did not influence shaping and sizing of the flange.
描述了一种用于带缘巩膜内眼晶状体固定的 5-0 聚丙烯和 6-0 聚丙烯实现最佳翼缘尺寸的技术。聚丙烯缝线的翼缘尺寸取决于加热长度,而与加热过程中的镊子夹持无关。研究发现,当用于 27 号巩膜隧道的 5-0 聚丙烯缝线时,加热 1 毫米可产生最佳的翼缘尺寸;当用于 30 号巩膜隧道的 6-0 聚丙烯缝线时,加热 1 毫米也可产生最佳的翼缘尺寸。或者,6-0 聚丙烯缝线加热 2 毫米非常适合 27 号巩膜隧道。即使轻微的镊子夹持也会使聚丙烯缝线变平,但不会影响翼缘的成型和尺寸。
