MAGNETIZED SCLERAL BUCKLE WITH POLYMERIZING MAGNETIC POLYMERS

摘要

A magnetic polymer may be polymerized in living tissue. Retinal detachment may now be repaired without needing suturing, by using a magnetic fluid with a magnetic scieral buckle. The magnetic scieral buckle may be polymerized into place in the eye, rather than being preformed outside the eye as has been conventionally done. Magnetic systems formed internally may be used in other medical contexts, such as in drug delivery.
