The goal of the successful cooperation between Prof. Peter Szurman (Eye Clinic Sulzbach), the DGFG (German Society for Tissue Transplantation) and Geuder AG was to make DMEK surgeries more predictable, easier, safer and faster. The first step was to move validation and preparation to the eye banks, where they can be performed most routinely and efficiently. With the introduction of DMEK Rapid, the first CE-certified DMEK preloading system, ophthalmic surgeons can now obtain preloaded Descemet grafts directly from a eye bank, like they are used to from preloaded IOL injectors for cataract surgery.
