CorNeat KPro
A Novel Solution for Corneal Replacement Therapy
The CorNeat KPro is a patented synthetic cornea that provides a lasting solution for corneal blindness. It enables immediate vision rehabilitation after a straightforward implantation procedure. The device wide aperture lens integrates seamlessly with the eyewall using a skirt made from our EverMatrix™ tissue-integrating technology, eliminating the need for donor tissue. CorNeat KPro provides an aesthetic solution with optical performance equivalent to an ideal cornea, offering new hope for millions with cornea-related visual impairments.
A CorNEat KPro fully integrated into a patient's eye. Patient's vision improved from "hand movement" to 6/4.8 (20/16) which is better than normal vision
Implantation Procedures
Implantation Animation
The CorNeat KPro implantation procedure is relatively straightforward and does not require the delicate suturing process needed to connect donor corneal tissue to the patient’s native cornea and optically align it. The CorNeat KPro snaps into the patient’s trephined cornea and is then sutured to the eye using three non-degradable sutures. This process minimizes the time the eye is trephined and open (also known as “open sky”) to just a few minutes, significantly reducing the associated risks.
Regaining Sight
Watch the Moving Moment as Our First Patient Regains Sight After a Decade of Blindness
In January 2021, CorNeat achieved a significant milestone with the first implantation of the CorNeat KPro in Israel. Jamal, a 79-year-old man who had been blind for over a decade and had previously undergone four unsuccessful transplants, regained his sight and independence. Witness this heartwarming moment in a 2-minute news video that was broadcast on national TV stations worldwide.
