Abstract

Purpose. To assess intracorneal biocolonization of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) materials covalently coated with collagen type-I. Methods. Two e-PTFE membrane types: M-10 (5-30 μm pores, 130 μm thickness, 75% porosity) and Z-30 (30-60 μm pores, 130 μm thickness, 94% porosity) were modified on one side by the covalent attachment of an ultrathin collagen coating. Coated and non-coated disks were inserted in the same right eye cornea of 12 pigmented rabbits, as well as a third e-PTFE type used as a control: 1-80 (40-60 μm pores, 260 μm thickness, 85% porosity). The coated surface of the disks was always facing the anterior side of the cornea. Enucleation was done at 7, 14 days, 1, 3 and 6 months for histology. Results. Both acute and chronic inflammatory response was more pronounced with the collagen coated materials, with neovascularization coming from the limbus towards the membranes anteriorly and a higher density of fibroblastic cells.
