*We also offer Patient-Ready DMEK™ which is a DMEK scroll that is pre-stained, pre-punched, marked with an “S” for orientation, and loaded into a glass cannula. Patient-Ready DMEK™ is facilitated through a licensing agreement with VisionGift (Portland, OR).

** KeraNatural^® – sterile allograft rings and arcs

Patient-Ready DMEK™ saves me at least 15-20 minutes in the OR and saves a lot of headache and worry!

Patient-Ready DMEK™ tissue from the Georgia Eye Bank simplifies the process of DMEK by saving time in the OR and eliminating the stress on the surgeon of having to peel and load the tissue. Results are excellent.
