Schwind Artificial Chamber
The Schwind Artificial Chamber (Schwind eyetech- solutions, Kleinostheim, Germany) can be used with the company's Carriazo-Pendular microkeratome for preparation of the donor cornea in anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasty. According to company literature, the patented geometry of the Carriazo-Pendular cutting head and the cutting principle of convex applanation provide highly reliable and precise flaps and smooth cutting surfaces. The integrated spring element allows optimal fixation of the graft without loss of pressure in the Schwind Artificial Chamber. Compact and ergonomically designed, the device is easy to assemble, and the microkeratome is easily connected. Four ring sizes (8.5–10 mm) and three cutting heads (300, 350, and 400 μm) for lamellar keratoplasty are available.
