Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators aimed at developing a technique to apply amniotic membrane to a diseased ocular surface without surgical intervention (sutureless amniotic membrane transplantation). This system needs to be concordant with laws and guidelines for the use of medical and pharmaceutical products.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A ring system (AmnioClip) was developed for mounting an amniotic membrane (AM) that can be applied like a large contact lens. AM is mounted between the two rings with a special designed, accessory mounting device. The safety of the ring system AmnioClip was tested in an interventional including 7 patients with ocular surface disorders and need for AM transplantation (1, 2, 3). About similar systems was reported (3, 4).
