Comparison of Porcine Submucosal Tissue Patch Graft (KeraSys) Versus Processed Pericardium Patch Graft (Tutoplast) in Glaucoma Drainage Implant Surgery Using a Molteno 3 Shunt
The investigators hypothesize that KeraSys is a safe as Tutoplast to cover the tube of the
Molteno 3 glaucoma drainage device during surgery
This study compares patients who will undergo Molteno 3 shunt implant surgery with 1 group
receiving KeraSys patch graft and the 2nd group receiving Tutoplast patch graft. The
investigators will examine the efficacy and safety of KeraSys in comparison with Tutoplast
and monitor the long term effectiveness for preventing tube erosion in Molteno 3 tube shunt
surgery for 1 year.
