CCTV 1 reported the new medical technology of "preserving atrophic eyeball with artificial vitreous balloon"

On September 22nd, CCTV- 1, a comprehensive channel of China Central Radio and Television Station, reported the innovative new medical technology "artificial vitreous balloon to keep eyeball atrophy". Professor Shi Xiangyu from Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University explained with animation how the "foldable artificial vitreous balloon" made the eyes shrink continuously.

This product puts forward a new theory of simulating natural vitreous body for the first time, and puts forward the concept of artificial vitreous body, that is, designing a solid folding artificial vitreous body balloon to simulate the shape of human natural vitreous body cavity, so as to realize the long-term stability of retina. It is an innovative product independently researched and developed by China, and it is the first in the world. The product can be filled in the eye for a long time, which solves the problems that vitreous substitutes can't stay in the eye for a long time, can't compress the retina for a long time or need repeated operations, and avoids enucleation of eyeball and implantation of artificial eye socket. (The above introduction comes from official website's evaluation of folding artificial vitreous balloon from the State Administration of Medical Supplies. )

In addition, the foldable artificial vitreous balloon was selected into the Catalogue of Grade Four Surgery for Performance Appraisal of Grade Three Public Hospitals (20 19 Edition).
