DSEK surgery, also known as Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty, is a widely performed technique of corneal surgery for treating endothelial dysfunction. Specific DSEK instruments include DSEK spatulas, forceps, scrapes and smoothers used to precisely manipulate, strip, and position the thin, innermost layer (Descemet's membrane) of the cornea for transplantation.

| FAQ |
|---|
| Which instruments are needed for Descemet stripping? A typical set may include a stripping hook or scraper, corneal forceps, spatulas, cannulas, a graft inserter or glide, and instruments for graft positioning. What tools are used to insert donor tissue? Donor tissue may be inserted with forceps, a glide, an inserter, pull-through instruments, or an injector system compatible with the graft-preparation technique. Are glide-compatible forceps available? Yes, this collection includes forceps designed to work with donor glides or pull-through techniques. Which spatulas are recommended for lenticule positioning? Thin, smooth, atraumatic spatulas or cannulas are generally used for gentle positioning and interface manipulation. How can instruments reduce endothelial cell loss? Use smooth atraumatic surfaces, minimize graft compression and manipulation, maintain appropriate chamber conditions, and use a delivery technique suited to the graft and surgeon. Are complete DSEK sets available? Complete or customizable DSEK sets may be available. |
