Medical kits and methods for performing small incision DLEK include a corneal transplantation donor tissue graft formed into an implantable and compact rolled configuration using the flexible substrate.

Methods for small incision eye surgery

Methods and systems for correcting presbyopia using a surgical excimer laser include activating the laser once and transmitting a pre-defined three dimensional ablation profile to treat presbyopia based on the single activating step.

One-card presbyopia systems and related methods

Medical kits and methods for small incision eye surgery

Devices and methods for cataract surgery include a tip with reciprocating door to chop, fragment or reduce size of large nuclear lens fragments and/or cortex fragments in a capsule bag to facilitate aspiration.

Medical tools with aspiration tips suitable for cataract surgeries and related methods

A drinking container includes a base and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The base and the sidewall define a cavity. The drinking container includes an ice retaining structure in the cavity, with the ice retaining structure including a ring member held adjacent an inner surface of the sidewall. The ring member and the sidewall define at least one laterally extending gap therebetween. The ice retaining structure is positioned and configured to retain ice in the cavity and to permit liquid to pass through the at least one gap when the drinking container is tilted relative to vertical.

Drinking containers with ice retaining features

Provided herein is an endothelial scaffold comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of decellularized corneal stroma. In some embodiments, the scaffold has cultured endothelial cells seeded thereon. Methods of treating a patient in need of corneal endothelial transplant are also provided, including implanting the scaffold as described herein onto a cornea of the patient (e.g., by deep keratectomy).

Methods of making endothelial scaffolds

Systems, devices and methods for performing small incision DLEK include providing a corneal transplantation donor tissue graft; then forming the tissue graft into an implantable configuration using the flexible substrate. Related medical kits and tools for forming a compact or rolled donor tissue graft are also described.
