DMEK surgery (Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty) is a modern, minimally invasive partial corneal transplant replacing only the damaged inner layer (endothelium) and Descemet's membrane. A specialized set of DMEK instruments includes DMEK spatulas, hooks, corneal trephines, and DMEK forceps.

| FAQ |
|---|
| Which forceps are safest for DMEK graft handling? Fine, atraumatic, smooth-jaw forceps designed for delicate endothelial tissue handling are generally preferred. Minimize direct grasping of the graft whenever possible. Are DMEK-specific markers available? Various corneal markers are available, including 3-140T Corneal Transplant Marker. Use only inks and devices indicated for donor corneal tissue handling. Which cannulas help unfold the graft? Fine fluid or air injection cannulas, often with atraumatic curved or angled tips, may be used for controlled graft unfolding according to the surgeon’s technique. What instruments are used for Descemet stripping? Descemet stripping may be performed with dedicated stripping hooks, reverse Sinskey hooks, scrapers, forceps, or similar instruments designed for controlled membrane removal. How should tips be inspected for endothelial safety? Inspect under magnification for burrs, roughness, bends, corrosion, sharp unintended edges, or misalignment. Do not use instruments with damaged tissue-contact surfaces. |
