EndoArt® Implantation in Subjects With Chronic Corneal Edema

The EndoArt® is intended to be used as an endothelial prosthesis in patients with chronic corneal edema.The EndoArt® (Artificial Endothelial layer) is a permanent implant, constructed of a clear, transparent, foldable, biologically compatible copolymer of hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate. The peripheral surface of the EndoArt® has either one or more marks, to ensure the correct orientation of the implant. The device serves as a physical barrier blocking the influx of water from the AC of the eye into the cornea due to dysfunctional corneal endothelial layer. Together with evaporation from the anterior surface of the cornea it maintains corneal hydration and clarity. The EndoArt® device is CE marked approved (approved for marketing by the European regulatory authority).
