A Basket Type Implant for Use After Enucleation

Biomaterials for orbital implants and ocular prostheses: Overview and future prospects

“…In 1946, Cutler introduced the so-called "basket implant" (Cutler implant I), that had four openings through which the rectus muscles were pulled through and sutured together with the patient's conjunctiva closed over it; the ocular prosthesis had a knob on its posterior surface that fitted into the concavity of the (female) implant without direct contact [41]. Some variations of the quasiintegrated Cutler implant have been proposed in the following years, such as the King implant that consisted of a pear-shaped tantalum mesh at whose base the rectus muscles were attached with the patient's conjunctiva closed over it [17].…”

“Something of an Adventure”: Postwar NIH Research Ethos and the Guatemala STD Experiments

“…115 Dr. Cutler decided that the solution was more aggressive exposure techniques and began abrading subjects' penises by hand and rubbing in syphilitic material. 116 Around the same time, Dr. Mahoney wrote to Dr. Cutler that "Dr. Heller [of the Syphilis Study Section] would feel considerably more secure if we were to set up an advisory group of leading figures in the world of science to serve as a background for the study." He went on to confide that "[t]here are several men whom I would not mind being associated with the work.…”

“…119 Dr. Cutler believed, however, that the more aggressive the exposure technique, the more vigorously he could prove the prophylaxis' value in preventing both syphilis and gonorrhea. 120 Even though scarification and abrasion methods proved effective at infecting subjects, 121 Dr. Cutler decided to continue to follow his "unforeseen leads" and moved on to exposing subjects in the Psychiatric Hospital to syphilis through oral ingestion 122 and injecting syphilitic material "directly into the central nervous system" in the base of subjects' skulls. 123 He also performed transmission experiments in which he applied gonorrheal pus to subjects' urethras, rectums, and eyes.…”
