WHAT IS XENIA?
XENIA is a corneal implant made of natural corneal collagen of animal (porcine) origin.
The XENIA material, natural corneal collagen, has been successfully validated by Mother
Nature – with a follow-up of more than 450 million years with excellent results. [1]
The XENIA material undergoes a special process to remove foreign cells including antigens.
This special process is called decellularization.
THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE
SMALL-INCISION
LENTICULAR INTRASTROMAL KERATOPLASTY
1 - For keratoconus patients a corneal stromal pocket with a small opening is created.
2 - The XENIA implant is inserted by means of an injector or forceps.
3 - After insertion, the XENIA implant is unfolded in the pocket.
XENIA FOR KERATOCONUS
- PREVENTING CORNEAL
TRANSPLANTATION
- STABILIZATION AND
VISION IMPROVEMENT
XENIA implants are used to avoid corneal transplantation in patients with keratoconus or to defer corneal transplantation as long as possible.
The XENIA implant for keratoconus is crosslinked and therefore significantly stronger as compared to the patient’s own …
SMART ALTERNATIVE TO DALK
- QUICK OUT-PATIENT SURGERY
- NO SUTURES
- RAPID RECOVERY
- LOW RISK PROCEDURE
The XENIA corneal implant for keratoconus is a substantially less complex, and minimally invasive alternative to a DALK transplant. Implanting XENIA is a standardized, straightforward and fast procedure.
Simply insert the implant into a corneal pocket created by a Femto-Laser, no sutures required.
