XENIA for keratoconus
- Preventing corneal
transplantation - Stabilization and
vision improvement
XENIA implants are used to avoid corneal transplantation in patients with keratoconus or to defer corneal transplantation as long as possible.
The XENIA implant for keratoconus is crosslinked and therefore significantly stronger as compared to the patient’s own …
XENIA – the smart alternative to dalk
- quick out-patient SURGERY
- no sutures
- rapid recovery
- low risk procedure
For patients suffering from advanced keratoconus, DALK surgery (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty) has been the surgical solution of choice in order to prevent corneal blindness. However, DALK surgery is very complex, involves general anaesthesia, requires corneal sutures and with any transplant surgery, there is always the risk of …
What is XENIA?
The real thing …
XENIA is a corneal implant made of natural corneal collagen of animal (porcine) origin.
The XENIA material, natural corneal collagen, has been successfully validated by Mother
Nature – with a follow-up of more than 450 million years with excellent results.[1]
The XENIA material undergoes a special process to remove foreign cells including antigens.
This special process is called decellularization.
… even better than the real thing

THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE
SMALL-INCISION 
LENTICULAR intrastromal keratoplasty
For keratoconus patients a corneal stromal pocket with a small opening is created.

The XENIA implant is inserted by means of an injector or forceps.

After insertion, the XENIA implant is unfolded in the pocket.

THE XENIA Technology
Cutting edge
Corneal tissue engineering
In order to create highly compatible and purified corneal collagen, a sophisticated biochemical decellularization process is applied. This process removes …
