CTAK -Keratoplasty for Addition Tissue Corneal

CTAK -Keratoplasty for Addition Tissue Corneal

CTAK is the latest advancement in keratoconus treatment, focused on accuracy and precision for both patients and surgeons. This innovative procedure involves the use of a CTAK inlay, designed to optimize corneal flattening, improve visual acuity, and add thickness to the cornea.

Using a Ziemer Neo Z8 Femtosecond Laser, CorneaGen processes tissue to the precise parameters for each patient. The tissue is sterilized, packaged and shipped with a custom surgical plan.
