1 Fig. 5. Preliminary performance validation of the hydrogel in vivo in a rabbit model of scleral trauma. Preliminary performance validation of the hydrogel in vivo in a rabbit model of scleral trauma. (A) Design diagrams (a and c) and validation (b) of a custom injection tool to effectively control hydrogel deployment and regulate its temperature. An image of the prototype injector is shown in the bottom right. (B) Two-arm study design to assess safety and efficacy of the hydrogel versus the current standard of care for posterior segment open globe injuries. (C) Images of the surgical procedure in rabbits. A 3-mm, full-thickness linear incision was created in the sclera about 3 mm radial from the limbus, followed by preparation and deployment of the hydrogel through the incision. (D) Representative baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) values showing no statistical difference between eyes of the same animal or any circadian-induced variations; columns show 6.5 ± 0.2, 6.5 ± 0.2, 5.8 ± 0.2, 6.4 ± 0.3, 8.1 ± 0.4, 8.0 ± 0.4, 7.4 ± 0.5, and 8.6 ± 0.4 mmHg (n = 28 per group). (E) Wald test comparison of mean IOP values of the treatment group versus no intervention, after procedure, showed a statistically significant improvement in mean IOP with sealant placed (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001).
