FDA-Cleared Amniotic Membrane for Regenerative Corneal Healing

Prokera features the only FDA-cleared cryopreserved amniotic membrane known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring properties. Prokera corneal bandages are specifically designed to treat damaged corneas, fostering an environment conducive to regenerative healing. Prokera is indicated for various conditions, including corneal ulcers, keratitis, corneal abrasions, corneal erosions, dry eyes, and more.

Healing Vision. Restoring Life.

Early intervention is essential in eye care, and Prokera corneal bandages offer an effective solution for treating damaged corneas by fostering regenerative healing. These easy-to-use bandages can be inserted directly in the office by a trained eye care professional.

Prokera contains cryopreserved amniotic membrane tissue that promotes healing, excels at restoring a healthy epithelium, and reduces the risk of scar tissue formation. By supporting the cornea’s natural healing abilities, Prokera reduces inflammation, enhances corneal health, and optimizes long-term outcomes.

Seeing A Difference

Prokera is the only FDA-cleared cryopreserved amniotic membrane product, designed to support corneal healing without causing harmful side effects. Our proprietary CryoTek preservation method preserves all the essential biological components, including the key protein complex HC-HA/PTX3, and maintains the tissue's structural integrity, comparable to fresh tissue. This unique approach helps rapidly restore the cornea’s natural healing abilities.

In contrast, alternative amniotic membrane solutions that are dehydrated lack these crucial biological components, increasing the risk of recurrent epithelial defects or erosions, chronic inflammation, scarring, vision loss, and pain.
