Feasibility of a polyethylene glycol ‐derivative polymer as retinal patch to seal retinal breaks during vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: a prospective, in‐vivo pilot‐study in a porcine model
ConclusionsThis study provides initial data to support the use of this polymer as a promising alternative to standard endo‐tamponade agents. Its safety and biocompatibility need to be further assessed.
