Hands-on Wet Labs and Informational Presentations at Booth F.159:

  • TransplantREADY® family of services include a prepared EK graft preloaded in a glass cannula. The DSAEK and DMEK wet labs will demonstrate streamlined procedural insertion and unfolding only.
  • OptiGraft® CAIRS is a Ziemer Z8 Femtosecond prepared graft for precision, e-beam irradiated for stability. The CAIRS wet lab will cover the CAIRS concept, instrumentation for manual and FS laser prepared tunnels, tunnel creation using manual instruments, graft insertion, and positioning.
  • CAIRS Planning sessions will be stand-alone informational sessions (not wet labs) focused only on the surgical planning process, including how to select your first case, surgical plan examples and online planning tools.
