It is possible to prepare, evaluate, and ship DMEK grafts loaded inside a glass carrier and viewing chamber. The ability to evaluate tissues after processing allows for adherence to the Eye Bank Association of America Medical Standards, and for surgeons to receive the most accurate tissue information.

Our novel S-stamp donor tissue preparation technique is intuitive to learn and holds the promise of preventing iatrogenic primary graft failure due to upside-down grafts without causing unacceptable increases in ECL.
