The EndoSerter-PL is a sterile, single use, hand held, manual ophthalmic surgical instrument. It is used to pre-load a processed donor corneal endothelial allograft for storage and transportation to the ophthalmic surgeon and to deliver the allograft into the anterior chamber of the eye during corneal surgery. It is designed to deliver a corneal endothelial allograft into the eye during corneal endothelial keratoplasty. The loading and storage of donor tissue for transport to the surgeon can be performed by any trained eye bank technician. Users of this instrument are experienced ophthalmic surgeons in a healthcare facility or hospital. Under no situation will empty EndoSerter-PL units be supplied directly to surgeons for loading.
A collection of sterile devices designed to hold and deliver prepared donor endothelial tissue for transplantation into a recipient eye following the removal of Descemet's membrane and dysfunctional endothelium from the patient's cornea during ophthalmic surgery. It typically consists of a preparation base, a cartridge which holds the tissue in a double-coil preventing the surfaces/edges from folding and touching, and an introducer to manually position the cartridge from where the tissue is glided into the eye in correct orientation to unfold. This set is only used for partial replacement of dysfunctional corneal cell layers and not for total cornea replacement. This is a single-use device.
