ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
ReSure Sealant (Ocular Therapeutix, Bedford, MA) is an ocular sealant that demonstrated both safety and effectiveness in a prospective, randomized clinical trial for sealing clear corneal incisions following cataract surgery and intraocular lens placement in adults.1 PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This is the first literature report of ReSure Sealant used for the closure of 23-gauge (G) pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) sclerotomies. A 70-year-old pseudophakic female with a history of epiretinal membrane and branch retinal vein occlusion of the right eye underwent 23-G PPV, membrane peel, and air-fluid exchange and was found to have leaking subconjunctival air at the end of the case. A linear conjunctival incision was performed to access the sclerotomy site. The incisions were then carefully dried before the sealant was applied to seal both the sclera and conjunctiva.RESULTS:
After polymerization, the sealant formed a polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel that was 89% water and 9.44% PEG. PEG is a synthetic material that is non-toxic and inert and, thus, suitable for use in medical products.CONCLUSION:
ReSure Sealant may be a safe, quick method to close sclerotomy wounds in select cases. [
