Keramed distribution rights
Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG has announced that it has obtained exclusive rights for distribution in Germany, Switzerland and Austria of the KeraKlear artificial cornea and the EndoInjector from Keramed Inc, Sunnyvale, California. The KeraKlear Artificial Cornea is a medical device for the treatment of corneal blindness which can be implanted in the eye through a very small incision. The EndoInjector (previously known as the EndoShield) is the latest generation device to enable delivery of a corneal graft for Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK). 'The KeraKlear Artificial Cornea and EndoInjector have CE approval. No regulatory clearance is available for either product in the US. Market introduction of both products in Germany, Switzerland and Austria is scheduled for autumn 2012,' said a company spokeswoman. Â
