PEDs can result in significant complications, including infection and vision loss.¹

Disruption of the tear film is a hallmark of dry eye disease (DED), which can ultimately give rise to sight-threatening epithelial defects and corneal ulcers. Therefore, a stable preocular tear film is integral in maintaining a healthy ocular surface.²

Corneal epithelial defects are some of the most common ocular pathologies that present to eye care professionals. Persistent corneal epithelial defects (PEDs) result from the failure of rapid re-epithelialization and closure within 10-14 days after a corneal injury, even with standard supportive treatment.³⁻⁴ Corneal epithelial defects are focal areas of epithelial loss most frequently caused by mechanical trauma, corneal dryness, neurotrophic keratitis, post surgical changes, or infection.⁵ If left untreated, PEDs can result in significant complications, including infection and vision loss.¹

Amniotic membrane acts as a physical barrier, protecting the injured corneal surface from eyelid friction and by preventing water loss through desiccation.

Furthermore, Thia et al demonstrated that when used as a graft to treat chronic corneal pathologies such as PEDs and limbal stem cell deficiencies, amniotic membrane serves as a substrate for the migration, adhesion and proliferation of corneal epithelial cells and limbal stem cells.⁵

Amniotic membrane graft applications as a cover or barrier may include, but are not limited to, corneal and conjunctival related injuries or defects such as corneal epithelial defects, pterygium repair, fornix reconstruction and other procedures.

Common diagnoses resulting in or associated with corneal defects include:

Indications For Use

BIOVANCE 3L Ocular is an allograft intended for use as a biological membrane covering that provides an extracellular matrix. As a barrier membrane, BIOVANCE 3L Ocular is intended to protect the underlying tissue and preserve tissue plane boundaries. Applications include, but are not limited to, corneal and conjunctival related injuries or defects such as corneal epithelial defects, pterygium repair, fornix reconstruction, and other procedures.

BIOVANCE 3L Ocular is a pure human amniotic tissue with an intact basement membrane¹:

• Devoid of cells, DNA, and cellular debris
• Retention of natural proteins (e.g. collagen, laminin, fibronectin)
• Serves as a cell-friendly scaffold for cell attachment and migration²
• Cell attachment is a natural stimulus for the orderly release of growth factors and cytokines¹

Biovance® 3L Ocular is a three-layer decellularized, dehydrated, human amniotic membrane.

Cut and assembled as a unique laminated tri-layer design with the stromal side of amniotic membrane on both sides of the scaffold facing out to ensure the correct side interfaces with the ocular surface regardless of the  orientation of the scaffold.

Biovance® 3L Ocular’s three layer design enhances its handling properties, without the need for a ring.

Cell attachment is a natural stimulus for the orderly release of growth factors and cytokines¹.

With its unique 3-layer amnion basement membrane construction, BIOVANCE 3L Ocular is designed for superior handling and creating an optimal matrix for cell viability, adhesion, and proliferation, providing a cell-friendly environment as demonstrated in a comparative benchtop study²’³:

• Ocular epithelial cell viability significantly greater than ChAM and DhAM (p<0.001)²
  
• Ocular epithelial cell adhesion significantly greater as compared to ChAM and DhAM (p≤0.011)²
  
• Ocular epithelial cell proliferation rate significantly greater than ChAM (p<0.001)²

* ChAM=cryopreserved human amniotic membrane;  DhAM=dehydrated human amniotic membrane

Ocular epithelial cell viability with Biovance 3L Ocular is significantly greater than ChAM or DhAM at day 4.

Human corneal epitheal cells were seeded on the different scaffolds, cultured, and stained with Calcein AM to visualize viable cells at Day 4 (A). The morphology of human corneal epithelial cells on scaffolds was monitored by actin staining on Day 4 (B).
