Additional Information for Retinal Implant Strip
Retinal implant strips are medical devices used in ophthalmology to treat certain types of vision loss. They are classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belong to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Retinal implant strips are designed to be surgically implanted into the eye to replace damaged or non-functioning retinal cells. These strips contain an array of microelectrodes that stimulate the remaining healthy retinal cells, allowing them to send visual signals to the brain.
The purpose of retinal implant strips is to restore some level of vision in individuals with conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration, where the photoreceptor cells in the retina are damaged or lost. By bypassing the damaged cells and directly stimulating the remaining retinal cells, retinal implant strips can help improve visual perception and quality of life for these patients.
It's important to note that retinal implant strips are complex medical devices that require specialized surgical procedures and post-operative care. They are typically used as a last resort when other treatment options have been exhausted. The decision to use retinal implant strips is made by a team of ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals based on the individual patient's condition and needs.
If you require more specific information about retinal implant strips or their usage, it is recommended to consult with a medical professional or ophthalmologist who can provide you with detailed insights and guidance.
