Streamlining Surgical Procedures with TransplantREADY® PKP

Lions World Vision Institute introduces a novel TransplantREADY® PKP. Developed to save time in the O.R. and reduce expense, the Prepunched PKP is available in various diameters to meet surgeons’ preferences.

TransplantREADY® PKP is a prepunched PKP donor graft using the Abdullayev Interrupted Corneal Punch in the clean room environment of the eye bank. Prepared grafts are secured with a 1.5 mm partial thickness hinge securing the cornea during transport and is easily released by the surgeon in the O.R.
TransplantREADY® PKP is prepared using a specialty designed interrupted donor punch blade that provides a clean full thickness cut through the cornea.
The interrupted portion of the donor punch creates a donor button with a partially cut 1.5mm bridge for easy separation.

TransplantREADY® PKP graft is unaffected by prepunched processing at the eye bank.

Transparency
• Central cornea stays clear up to 168 hours/7 days post processing.
Stroma

• Gradual increase of peripheral thickness at incision after
3.5 days.
• Central thickness unchanged up to 7 days.
Endothelium
• No reduction in endothelial cell density or changes in morphology observed up to 7 days of storage.
Storage & Transport
• With corneoscleral rim attached by the 1.5mm bridge, graft is secure in the cornea viewing chamber up to 7 days in transport.
