Apparatus And Method For Removing Epithelium From The Cornea

US Patent:
2012008, Apr 12, 2012
Filed:
Oct 11, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/901846
Inventors:
Leonard Newman - Orinda CA, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/00, A61K 31/525
US Classification:
424427, 514251
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for removing epithelium from the cornea include a fluid agent for facilitating de-epithelialization of the cornea. A disc includes a biocompatible material operable for covering a predetermined zone of a cornea. The disc is hydrated by the fluid agent, wherein the hydrated disc is pliable for conforming to a surface of the cornea. An application of the hydrated disc to the cornea substantially constrains the fluid agent to the determined zone and softens a corneal epithelium enabling delamination of the epithelium from an underlying stroma.
