Corneal Ulcers


An Extremely Painful Condition

Corneal ulcers usually result from trauma. Other causes of corneal ulcers include bacterial infections, viral infections, and other diseases. A corneal ulcer is extremely painful.


ACell Vet Corneal Discs

Corneal Disk

ACell Vet Corneal Discs offer a revolutionary new treatment for corneal ulcers. Conveniently sized at 15mm, the discs may be secured by suturing directly to the cornea, with tack sutures to the bulbar conjunctiva, via tarsorrhaphy, or nictitating membrane flap. Each ACell Vet Corneal Disc is individually packaged sterile.


Constructive Remodeling of the Cornea

Once hydrated and secured, the ACell Vet Corneal Disc is quickly incorporated with the native tissue to support constructive remodeling of the affected area by host derived cells. The ACell Vet material is totally resorbed by the body as remodeling occurs, leaving no permanently implanted material behind.

ACell Vet provides a cost effective and convenient treatment option for even the toughest corneal ulcer cases.
