The TransplantREADY preloaded DSAEK process is the ideal type of no-touch technique which spares endothelial trauma during the insertion process and allows the surgeon to easily visualize the orientation of the tissue once it enters the eye. It provides a nice transition for the surgeon who is contemplating making the transition to DMEK.Steven Rosenfeld, MD

The new pre-loaded DSEK with the tissue in the Weiss glass cannula takes the stress out of loading and insertion, so that the surgeon can focus on the intraocular portions and steps of DSEK to achieve the optimal patient outcomes. It should enhance speed of the procedure while minimizing trauma to endothelial cells, both of which would enhance patient recovery.Bala Read More

Personally, participating in LEITR’s 2022 cornea training was an all-round action learning, hands-on experience delivered Read More

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.Laura Palazzolo, MD
