Abstract

Purpose: To quantify tensile force to separate the adhesive joint between muscle and sclera obtained by the ADAL-1® adhesive. Methods: Strabismus surgery including over the Superior Recti was performed. 4 different groups (5 eyes each) were included in this study on New Zealand albino rabbits and lamb eyes. We used Dexon® 6/0 suture as control group. We evaluated the tensile force by means of a dynamometer in two periods of time. First, we evaluated just after the adhesion (groups I and II), and after 7 days of the adhesion (groups III and IV). Results: By statistical supported methods SPSS 6.0. The tensile force in group I was: X=1.23±0.17 Newtons. In group II was X=0.793±0.02. In group III the tensile force was: X=1.01±0.17 and in group IV was X=0.89±0.09 Newtons. There was a significant difference between the two groups: suture and ADAL-l®, just immediately after the adhesion. (P=0.004). There was no significant difference between the suture and ADAL-1® adhesive group, one week after the adhesion. Conclusions: The joint between sclera and muscle by the ADAL-1® adhesive is as resistant as Dexon® 6/0 suture group to the traction force one week after surgery.
