Exposure of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene-wrapped Hydroxyapatite orbital implant : A report of two patients

Hydroxyapatite (HA) spheres used to replace volume after an enucleation are often wrapped with autologous tissue before orbital implantation. Man-made materials are less expensive and pose no risk for viral transmission. The use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) to wrap HA spheres was eval...
