Preloaded Perfection

Preloaded Tissue Services

TransplantREADY® DMEK and DSAEK grafts precisely prepared in your choice of delivery system.

Preloading since 2012

With the announcement of preloaded DSAEK, early adopters experienced the benefits and made the switch from preparing tissue intraoperatively to receiving tissue ready for transplant. The equipment, instrumentation, and supplies were no longer needed in the O.R. and the risk of damaging tissue was eliminated. Today, choose from multiple preloaded options for your DSAEK and DMEK cases.

TransplantREADY® Endo-In DMEK 

Preloaded in a Weiss Glass Cannula

The DMEK Endo-In delivery system positions the DMEK graft with the endothelium on the inside of the scroll. As the graft is slowly introduced into the AC, it opens in an effort to return to its natural configuration of Endo-out.

TransplantREADY® DMEK Graft

Preloaded in a Weiss Glass Cannula

Each TransplantREADY DMEK graft is prepared using our Hydrodissection “Blister” Technique which simultaneously dissects and stains Descement’s membrane.

TransplantREADY® DMEK EndoGlide™

Designed for controlled graft delivery, this closed cartridge system protects the graft while accommodating endothelial tissue up to 9.00 mm through an incision as small as 2.65 mm. Its pull-through paracentesis approach and forceps guide bridge support precise handling, making it well suited for challenging cases. An anterior chamber maintainer is recommended.

TransplantREADY® DSAEK Graft 

Preloaded in a Weiss Glass Cannula

LWVI’s proprietary High-Pressure Anterior Chamber (HPAC) technique is used for preparing ultrathin DSAEK grafts. This method developed and introduced by LWVI in 2012 is reliable, accurate, consistently produces corneal grafts 40-70 microns and demonstrates less endothelial stress and cell loss.

TransplantREADY® DSAEK EndoGlide™

Preloaded DSAEK grafts arrive precision prepared, marked, and trephined to specified diameter.

Designed for controlled donor tissue insertion through a minimal 4.00mm incision, this transparent, closed cartridge system uses a paracentesis pull-through approach while maintaining a stable anterior chamber.

Key Features

  • Minimal 4.00mm incision required
  • Utilizes a paracentesis pull through approach to provide maximum control
  • Accommodates donor endothelium up to 9.5 mm diameter and 70μm to 250μm in thickness
  • Suitable for use with small eyes, and eyes with shallow anterior chambers or high vitreous pressure
  • Stable anterior chamber throughout insertion procedure due to the ‘closed’ system
  • Required use of Anterior Chamber Maintainer
  • Transparent cartridge for all round visualization

“Endo-in DMEK is the advancement in EK we have all been waiting for. It makes DMEK into a predictable procedure with less trauma to endothelial cells. This is the only way injectable DMEK should be done.” – Benjamin Lambright, MD – West Coast Eye Institute, Lecanto, FL

See how we’re making it easier for You!

Attending the ASCRS meeting was an incredibly valuable experience. The CAIRS wet lab with Dr. Soosan Jacob stood out as a highlight—her clear, step-by-step instruction, paired with Dr. Abdullayev’s guidance, made the procedure easy to understand and approachable. I left the session feeling confident and well-prepared, and I’m now planning to perform my first CAIRS case soon. I’m grateful to LWVI for supporting such impactful educational opportunities.

The training provided by Lions World Vision Institute’s wet lab at ASCRS was invaluable in developing my confidence and desire to start doing DMEK grafts

Elizabeth Conner, MD

The TransplantREADY Endo-In DMEK delivery into the AC is streamlined saving time and expense in the OR. Unscrolling and positioning the graft in the AC takes 90% less effort and time than the traditional DMEK delivery device.

Beautiful case. Opened up right away.

Priya Mathews, MD, MPH

Easiest and fastest DSAEK I’ve performed since 2007; the graft basically opened by itself. The graft looked like a million dollars POD1, not a single striae observed.

Thomas A. Planchard M.D.

Preloaded ultrathin DSAEK tissue in the Weiss Glass Cannula allows me to gently transfer tissue into the anterior chamber using a no-touch fluid injection technique and opens orientated correctly.

Steven Kane, M.D.

In a recent study performed with LWVI we demonstrated 4 times less endothelial cell loss using TransplantREADY DSAEK injection from a Weiss Glass Cannula compared to DSAEK pull-through using a Busin Glide and forceps insertion technique.

Jason Miles, M.D.

Using LWVI’s TransplantREADY DSAEK preloaded in a Weiss Glass Cannula allowed me to confidently perform my first DSAEK case ever, leaving the pre-cut and preload process of this delicate tissue to their expert processing services.

“Pre-punched PKP has been a welcome change to my practice. I can still provide the same surgical results without my surgery center having to stock every different size donor punch and recipient trephine.

Benjamin Lambright, MD

The assembly was easy to handle and intuitive to use. The preloaded nature also simplifies the surgical set up for DSAEK procedure.

Simon Fung, MD

Lions World Vision Institute made my transition to preloaded DMEK and DSAEK tissue seamless — the process is easy to learn and greatly reduces my surgical time. I also feel confident that the eye bank’s tissue preparation method preserves maximal endothelial cell density.
