DEFINITION, CHARACTERISTICS AND HOW IT IS OBTAINED
The sclerotic coat (the external membrane that covers the innermost face of the eyeball), obtained from an eyeball from a deceased tissue donor or from a multi-organ donor in a state of brain death.
Once the corneal ring is separated, the inside of the eyeball is emptied and it is cleaned of the remains of membranes. The remains of other tissues (such as muscular insertions and the lamina cribosa where the optic nerve enters) are also eliminated. |
