Scientific titleThe use of I-ZIP® Adherent Ocular Bandage to help cataract surgery incisions seal more effectively: a prospective consecutive randomised case-controlled study
Study acronymI-ZIP®
Study objectivesTo determine whether I-ZIP® improves the sealing and architectural profile of clear cornear incisions and reduce the risks of leaking and endophthalmitis.
Ethics approval(s)Berkshire Ethics Committee approved on the 9th June 2009 (ref: 09/H0505/35)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEndophthalmitis/cataract surgery
InterventionThe methodology is identical for both arms, except for the application of the I-ZIP® bandage in the treatment arm, or not in the control arm. Both arms will receive clear corneal incision 2.2.mm wide micro coaxial phacoemulsification cataract surgery. The intraocular lens will be injected using C-cartridge and wound-assisted techniques. Patients will then be receive either the application of I-ZIP®, or not.

Within 1 hour of completing surgery: optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination
Within 2 hours of completing surgery: slit lamp examination using 2% fluorescein and measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP)
Day 1 post-operative examination: OCT, slit lamp and IOP, slit lamp photograph
Day 7 post-operative examination: OCT, slit lamp and IOP
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Measured less than 1 hour, less than 2 hours, 1 day and 7 days post-operatively:
1. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) wound architecture
2. Intra-ocular pressure

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

No secondary outcome measures
