Mejorando la visualización del implante no absorbible T-Flux (R) para esclerectomía profunda. Técnica de tinción / Improving the visualization of non-absorbable T-Flux (R) implants in deep sclerectomy. Colouring technique

OBJETIVO: Describir una técnica de coloración que aumente la visualización del implante no absorbible T-Flux. MÉTODO: La técnica se emplea en el implante no absorbible T-Flux. Este se sumerge en una solución de fluoresceína sódica entre 5 y 10 min, posteriormente se retira y se seca con una hemosteta. DISCUSIÓN: Esta técnica fácil y sencilla que usa una solución común de fluoresceína nos permite aumentar el contraste en el campo quirúrgico entre este y el implante transparente empleado en la esclerectomía profunda. Esta técnica disminuye el riesgo de pérdida del implante

PURPOSE: To describe a staining technique that will enhance the visualization of non-absorbable T-Flux implants. METHODS: The technique was applied to non-absorbable T-Flux implants. The implants were submerged for 5 to 10 minutes in a sodium fluorescein solution, and dried with a sponge when removed from the solution. DISCUSSION: This is a very simple and easy procedure that uses a common fluorescein solution to enhance the contrast between the surgical field and a transparent implant used in deep sclerectomy. This colour technique will decrease the risk of loss of the implant in the surgical field
