NEST'IN : Insulated box of ten 100 ml vials +10 eye covers +10 security seals.
NEST'OUT : Insulated box of ten 50 ml vials +10 eye covers +10 security seals.


Extra safe composition

Arcadophta Nest in, a serum free formulation with no animal compound:
    • nutritive solution with carbon hydrates, metabolic precursors, minerals, vitamins, hepes buffer, phenol red
    • and antibiotics: streptomycin, penicillin, amphotericin B.

Arcadophta Nest out, a serum free formulation with no dextran:
    • nutritive solution with poloxamer.


Outstanding results:

Outcome of keratoplasty for the recipient, is linked to endothelial cells (EC) density.

Arcadophta Nest in saves additional 42% of EC's compared to serum supplemented medium (serum medium)*.

Nest Outstanding results


Before De-swelling

Need for qualified grafts shall be fulfilled

Arcadophta Nest in saves additional 40% graft compared to serum supplemented medium (serum medium)*.

Nest in - Before De-swelling


After De-swelling

De-swelling is an important issue

Arcadophta Nest out guarantees the right thickness and preserves the endothelium*.

Nest out - After De-swelling


How to use Arcadophta Nest in / Arcadophta Nest out

One NEST'IN vial is used to transport the cornea from the excision site to the eyebank.
After initial inspection, the graft is placed in a new NEST'IN vial for 21 days.
Two days before keratoplasty, the graft is placed in NEST'OUT for de-swelling and transportation.


How to store Arcadophta Nest in / Arcadophta Nest out

Before use:
    • storage of the media at - 20°C for 18 months or at + 4°C for 12 months.
    • transport, at ambient temperature up to 25°C, alternatively at controlled temperature between + 2°C to + 8°C.

With the graft:
    • optimum storage temperature: + 31°C.
    • transport before and after organ culture at ambient temperature up to 25°C (1 day) alternatively at controlled temperature between + 2°C to + 8°C (2 to 3 days).


Improved manipulation

    • The graft can be stored in NEST'IN without any suture (no contamination, no epithelial cells proliferation).
    • The graft endothelium can be visualized after de-swelling without using osmotic dilation, NEST'OUT facilitates the EC's count operation.
   
Nest Cell Border

    • A security seal guarantees the inviolability instead of a crimp cap.
    • Storage at + 4°C before use saves time for thawing and reaching use temperature: avoiding thermal stress between solution and graft is a key success factor.


Economical benefits

Increased productivity of qualified grafts boosts savings for the eye bank.
