Double-plate Molteno Implants

Double Plate Molteno^® Implant (R2/L2)

With twice the drainage area of the single plate implant, this Molteno^® Implant is particularly suitable for neovascular glaucomas, acute glaucomas and combined cataract and glaucoma procedures.

Pressure Ridge Double Plate Molteno^® Implant (DR2/DL2)

Combines the large drainage area of the Double Plate Molteno^® Implant with the subsidiary ridge for controlling postoperative hypotony. Particularly suitable for very severe glaucomas, patients with good ciliary body function, younger patients and glaucoma associated with retinal detachment.

The subsidiary ridge on this implant, when covered by Tenon’s capsule, acts as a pressure sensitive biological valve which limits the escape of aqueous from the eye and reduces postoperative hypotony.

Available in left eye (DL2) and right eye (DR2) configurations.
