Preparation & Customization

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of corneal transplant tissue, processed to the exacting standards set by the FDA and the Eye Bank Association of America. We regularly handle more corneas than any other U.S. eye bank. CorneaGen technicians have processed more than 45,000 corneas.

Preparation

The Descemet’s membrane is manually stripped from the posterior stroma over approximately 75% or greater of the corneal surface.

During transport to the OR, the detached portion of the Descemet’s membrane may lift and float safely in the media with the hinge attached.

Customization

Customize your request with your preference for tissue thickness, age range, and cell count.

Available Markings:

  • Center Dot with Marked Hinge
  • Center Dot with 2mm “S” Stamp

Additional Services

Research Tissue

CorneaGen offers research tissue on special request. For more information please contact tissue@corneagen.com

Shipping Expertise

Delivering tissue, on-time, the day of your scheduled surgery (unless requested earlier).

CorneaGen strictly adheres to safe shipping standards for local, national and international corneal tissue orders.

This starts with ensuring that tissue is packed appropriately in a container that maintains cooling for the duration of the shipment. The containers we use are inexpensive, but effective for transporting tissue to and from eye banks, surgeons and surgery centers.

We performed a study to validate our tissue shipping methods. Access the full report published in Cornea: The Journal of Cornea and External Disease, or read the abstract.

We ship tissue to arrive on the day you request delivery. Please order tissue at least seven days in advance of the scheduled surgery. Learn more on the Order Tissue page.

Questions? Contact our Clinical Operations Team at tissue@corneagen.com, or (877) 682-8502. Please expect a response to email within 24 hours.

Return Policy

If you need to return tissue, contact the lab that fulfilled your tissue request immediately. We are available 24/7.

The contact information for the lab is located on the box and paperwork received with the tissue. If you cannot locate those materials, please call (206) 682-8502.

We will work with you to arrange return transportation, confirm shipment details and packaging instructions. A courier will pick up the returned tissue package.

Keratoplasty techniques are changing and CorneaGen is right on the cutting edge. They have been there from the beginning and understand what it takes to provide the best service.
