LaMEK preloaded – ready-to-use corneal graft for DMEK, PEI.G.12063.01.1 is already the second tissue preparation specially prepared for DMEK and approved by the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI<\/a>). DGFG is the only institution authorised to market this in Germany. LaMEK preloaded is based on LaMEK<\/a>, which has also been approved by the PEI and which DGFG has been distributing in Germany since 2015.<\/p>\n

For optimal vitality of the donor tissue to be transplanted, Prof. Dr. Peter Szurman (Sulzbach Eye Clinic<\/a>), together with the DGFG and Geuder AG, developed the transport and injection system (DMEK RAPID<\/a>) for the pre-prepared corneal lamella, which in future can be ordered as LaMEK preloaded<\/strong> from the DGFG.<\/p>\n

\n

With the LaMEK preloaded<\/strong>, the descemet lamella together with its endothelial cells, which provide clear vision, can be implanted directly into the patient in the preloaded implantation cartridge as gently as possible. Without additional manipulation leading to cell loss. DMEK<\/strong> can thus be performed even more easily, quickly<\/strong> and, above all, safely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>

LaMEK<\/a>, the indications are corneal diseases such as Fuchs endothelial dystrophy or bullous keratopathy.<\/p>\n

Doctors receive lamellae in the transport cartridge quality-tested and ready for use in the patient. The DGFG<\/a> ensures standardised manufacturing processes and the highest level of safety. All tissue banks in the network have certified and officially monitored clean rooms. Preparation always takes place under aseptic conditions. This safety is reflected in the high success rate of over 95 percent of successful operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

DMEK – even simpler<\/h2>\n

With the help of the LaMEK preloaded, endothelial corneal diseases will be easier to treat in the future – even on an outpatient basis. The transport cartridge (credits to Szurman), the so-called DMEK RAPID system, enables a n-touch injection of the LaMEK without further manipulation of the donor tissue. LaMEK preloaded offers surgeons a great quality advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
