Orbital cosmetic prosthesis RealLifeSkin™

RealLifeSkin™ Orbital prostheses (eye prostheses with prosthetic skin around the eye, creating a small hemi-facial prosthesis) are designed from several exclusive prosthetic technologies only available at the Real Life Center: The outer hyper-life-like RealLifeSkin™ prosthetic skin and the sub-dermal Intra-Anatomy™. These technologies are profiled in the Prosthetic Technologies section of the website. Prosthesis Retention Retention of RealLifeSkin™ orbital and facial prostheses is accomplished by several methods: use of our patented Intra-Anatomy™ (also called Internal Fixation Retention- IFR), osseointegration, medical adhesive, use of eyeglasses, or a combination of these methods. The above diagram depicts the use of the Intra-Anatomy™ prosthesis retention method. During the first Prosthetic Clinic visit, each patient is evaluated individually to best determine which prosthetic retention method or combination of prosthetic methods is best for them. Many patients email photographs for a pre-prosthesis evaluation in order to save on travel resources – this can be done through the online Contact Form found under the Contact section. Intra-Anatomy™ Prosthetic Sinus Cavity & Prosthetic Orbit Technology Key Features: – Tissue Stabilization After an exteneration surgery (removal of the full orbit of the eyeball, including intra-ocular muscles with surrounding tissue), many patients are not aware that the surrounding skin and bone will migrate into the facial/sinus cavity opening over time unless a prosthesis is fitted inside. This is especially the case when the sinus cavity is exposed.
