The Berghaus/Schrom Lid-Chain is an implant to restore dynamic closure of the eye in cases of lagophtalmus
resulting from facial paralysis.

The implant is in the form of chain and thus the malleability results in an optimal adaption to the form of the
tarsus.

The pre-drilled holes are to be used for easier fixation. Using platinum and iridium has many advantages
over the commonly used gold implants, particularly when considering weight distribution and biocompatibility.

The combination of the materials and the chain form is reflected in the above-average results and lower rate
of complications.

The advantages of lidloading:

• Complete closing of the eyelid
• Completely reversible with no complications
• No restriction of the peripheral vision with binoculare eyesight
• Can be combined with other surgical eyelid corrective procedures

The advantages of the lid chain in comparison with
conventional implants:

• Flexible
• Very good tissue compatibility
• Increased density (volume reduction > 10%)
• Optimal pretarsal placement
• Reduction in post-operative complications
• Excellent results

• Test weights to ascertain the optimal implant weight
• Delivered as set in a storage cassette
• Adhesive strips included
