SubsidieMeestersA Revolutionary Artificial Cornea and Surgical Procedure
The CorNeat KPro is a cost-effective, fully artificial cornea that integrates with ocular tissue to provide a lifelong solution for corneal blindness without the need for donor tissue.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The CorNeat KPro is a patent pending fully artificial cornea (no donor required) which provides a life-long solution for corneal blindness, pathology, and injury.
Technology Overview
Its novel approach, technology, and surgical procedure bio-mechanically integrate artificial optics within resident ocular tissue.
Design Features
The CorNeat KPro features a wide aperture acrylic lens, identical in optical quality to the native non-astigmatic cornea. This lens is surrounded by a non-degradable synthetic polymer skirt-like scaffold that mimics the native Extra-Cellular-Matrix and stimulates cellular growth and infiltration.
Integration and Healing
The CorNeat KPro integrates underneath the conjunctiva, a site rich with fibroblasts, which heals vigorously. As a result, the CorNeat KPro skirt assimilates within the eyewall tissue, providing a no follow-up life-long solution.
Cost Effectiveness
CorNeat KPro and its implant procedure is 50% cheaper than traditional corneal implants, hence an affordable remedy for millions of people with cornea-related visual impairments.
