A Convenient New Option for Treating Corneal Surface Damage

PROKERA® is a Class II medical device created by clipping AMNIOGRAFT® into a dual, concave, polycarbonate ring set. Acting as a biologic bandage, PROKERA® effectively treats corneal and limbal surface conditions by suppressing inflammation, reducing scarring, and promoting epithelial healing. Corneal surface healing can be monitored while PROKERA® is inserted and the healing is usually visible within 1-2 weeks. The ring set should be removed once the desired healing is complete.

The Benefits of PROKERA®:

• Delivers therapeutic actions of wound healing and repair to corneal 
  surface
• Conforms snugly to the corneal surface without sutures
• Acts as a symblepharon ring to prevent adhesions and maintain space
  for tissue re-growth
• Can be inserted easily in an office or surgical setting
