The MedDev Contour™ and ThinProfile™ Eyelid Weight Implants are designed for the gravity-assisted treatment of protracted or permanent lagophthalmos, usually resulting from facial paralysis.

MedDev Contour™ and ThinProfile™ Eyelid Weight Implants were designed for the treatment of lagophthalmos, i.e. the inability of the eyelid to fully close. This condition is typically due to a degree of facial paralysis. The MedDev Contour™ and ThinProfile™ Eyelid Weight Implants are passive implants surgically placed in the eyelid. The density of their construct material (pure gold or platinum) provides the weight necessary to close the eyelid over the eye. The patient can use their functional orbital musculature to keep their eyes open, but have the gravitational assist from the Implant to close the eyelid.
