DESCEMET MEMBRANE ENDOTHELIAL KERATOPLASTY
DMEK Tissue
Partial thickness grafts for posterior lamellar procedures.
Preparation and customization
- DMEK grafts are peeled with a peripheral hinge attachment and yield a greater than 8mm diameter graft. An “F” or “S” orientation marking can be made on the graft upon request.
- Pre-loaded DMEK tissue has been prepared in an aseptic manner using the modified scuba technique, “F” or “S” orientation marking (optional), trephinated with a corneal punch, stained with trypan blue and loaded into a glass cannula.
- Typical pre-punches are 7.5mm, 7.75mm and 8mm.
Pre-Loaded DMEK Tissue Options
- Micro Jones Tube – This glass cannula will decrease corneal incision size for DMEK procedures. Recommended incision size is 2.2mm.
- Modified Jones Tube – Recommended incision size is 3.2mm.
- CORONET ® – DMEK Endoglide™ – The tissue has been prepared endothelium-in and uses controlled pull through paracentesis approach to provide graft unfolding with minimal cell loss. Recommended incision size is 2.65mm.
