A sustained‐release thermoplastic polyurethane/poly l‐lactide‐co‐ dl ‐lactide (tpu / pldla) cyclosporine‐a implant for the treatment of canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca: A retrospective case series. Veterinary Ophthalmology, 29(4), e70191. https://doi.org/10.1111/vop.701911463-52161463-5224https://hdl.handle.net/11268/17425To evaluate the efficacy of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Poly L- Lactide- Co- DL- Lactide (TPU/PLDLA) polymer blend containing cyclosporine (CsA) for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in dogs. The TPU/PLDLA- CsA implant shows potential as an alternative to conventional topical CsA treatment for canine KCS, providing sustained release and reducing the need for frequent drug applications. The implant was generally well- tolerated, with observed improvements in tear production and inflammation reduction. Sedation was used for implantation, making the procedure less invasive compared to the general anesthesia required for some other implants. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and extended follow- up are required to confirm its long- term efficacy and safety, as well as to refine dosing and implantation protocols for optimal therapeutic outcomes.engBiocienciasQueratoconjuntivitis SecaSistemas de Liberación de Medicamentosjournal article10.1111/vop.70191embargoed accessCiencias médicasMedicina clínicaVeterinariaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
