Viscoll

- Collagen Membrane for Corneal Repair

0
The product is a homogeneous, rounded, transparent collagen plate made from highly purified native type I collagen isolated from porcine tendons. The product is intended to replace the surface of the eye through surgical intervention. The product can be used for anterior layer-by-layer and reinforcing keratoplasty for treatment of corneal leukoma and ulcers of various etiologies, pterygium, as well as for surgical treatment of traumatic injuries of the eyeball. And also to use as a temporary keratoprosthesis for surgical manipulations in the absence of corneal transparency.

Mechanism of Action

The product functions as a natural extracellular matrix, which is necessary for the normal healing of damaged corneas and restoring their anatomic and functional characteristics using the body's own regenerative potential. After implantation into the stroma, the implant is filled with the cornea's own cells, which begin to actively interact with it, gradually replacing it with its own stromal tissue.

The Key Characteristics of A Medical Device

Biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and non-toxicity.

Viscoll® collagen extracted from healthy animal tissues is used to manufacture the Product. Obtaining the extract as a true solution (not a suspension) of native (not denatured) protein provides complete biochemical purification of collagen from potentially immunogenic impurities, which is controlled by appropriate immunological testing. Viscoll® collagen preparations are obtained sterile, apirogenic, completely bioresorbable and irritation-free at implantation, neither in the short nor in the long term.

Transparency

The developed technology allows to create optically transparent collagen membranes, which retain their transparency when implanted into the corneal stroma.

Durability

The product possesses sufficient mechanical properties to perform standard surgical manipulations, for fixation in the place of implantation with a standard surgical suture using 10/0 or 8/0 thread.

Sterility

The product is sterile by aseptic production process.
