CASES AND PATHOLOGIES

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: The system requires using a tool to consistently assemble the anterior segment with the donor cornea by crimping them with a snap "LinK" ring. To assemble:

1. Lubricate the tool base posts with water or water based gel.
2. Wet and slide a new LinK ring on the tool base.
3. Insert and center the donor cornea inside the ring.
4. Slide the anterior segment down the tool base so that it sits flush on top of the LinK ring, with the iris facing down towards the cornea.
5. 5. Insert the tool press on the tool base so that it is flush with the anterior segment, then press evenly and firmly on the press to assemble the LinK AC.
6. Remove the assembled AC form the tool base and insert it into the LinK holder by gently opening the flexible holder socket.
7. Fix the holder to a smooth surface with the suction cup (5b).
8. Lift the suction release tab (5c) to remove HOLDERfrom surface. DO NOT PULL ON THE HOLDER.

CHARACTERISTICS

EYE HOLDER:

• LINK MINI HOLDER is our specific holder for LINK models. It shines where space and simplicity are a priority.
• Fix it to a smooth surface with its suction cup, or adapt it to larger head models. Its simplicity is well suited for fast paced wetlab environments as well as self-directed training.

LINK SHALLOW ANTERIOR SEGMENT:

• Anterior segment (No cornea).
• GREEN iris color.
• Suitable for DMEK training with donor cornea (not included).

LINK RINGS:

• Accessory used to couple Bioniko LINK Anterior Segment to the biological tissue (donor tissue not included)

LINK TOOL:

• Press system to assemble LINK Anterior Segment with LINK Rings<(li>

INCLUDE

• 1 LinK MINI Holder
• 10 LinK Rings
• 2 LinK Shallow Anterior segment
• 1 LinK TOOL
• 1 Storage box
• * Does not include donor tissue

Description

Lamellar Keratoplasty (LK) scenarios, such as DMEK, DSEK and DALK, usually require the use of real biological tissue. Most often, the graft is recovered from an excised donor cornea and implanted into a 2nd whole globe.

The LinK system allows the formation of a surgical anterior chamber from the excised donor cornea (tissue not included )on where to simulate the implantation of the graft. Opposed to other artificial chambers, LinK focuses on providing a realistic surgical experience by allowing more direct access to the limbus, simulating eye movement and providing a realistic iris and crystalline lens complex to complete the anterior chamber.
