Scanning Electron Microscopy of Artificial Corneal Endothelial Keratoplasty implant
The EndoArt ® device's superior surface characteristics and biocompatible acrylic composition support stable posterior corneal adhesion and biointegration while minimizing inflammatory complications. The posterior location (corneal surface facing) of fibrous attachments indicates favorable biointegration, contrasting with the anterior-surface fibrotic complications seen with solid keratoprostheses.
