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.

"Preloaded tissue reduces the surgical time of my cases, and I don’t have the stress of having to trephine and load my own tissue."
— Kathryn A. Colby, MD, PhD
Chair, Department of Ophthalmology NYU Langone Health
New York, NY

“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.”

Alejandro Candray, M.D. El Salvador

“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.”

Laura Palazzolo, MD
