Bio-Tissue, Inc.

Bio-Tissue, Inc. was founded in 1997 to help address unmet needs for improved surgical and therapeutic alternative to treat ocular surface conditions; one that would serve as a non-immunogenic tissue replacement and would help facilitate tissue regeneration. Initial research began in the 1980s, led by Scheffer C.G. Tseng, MD, PhD, who believed the solution was to utilize the natural properties of human amniotic membrane tissue to restore ocular surface health. In 1995, Dr. Tseng reintroduced the use of amniotic membrane for ocular surface reconstruction, by utilizing a unique method of processing and preservation – the CRYOTEK® Method. Bio-Tissue adheres to the FDA tissue and medical device guidelines. Today, the company’s products are used by eye care professionals around the world.
