EyeGen is a single layer, human amniotic membrane (HAM) allograft provided in several sizes and utilized by doctors in the treatment of a variety of ocular conditions.
How are HAM’s used?
Human amniotic membrane (HAM) can be applied to the surface of the eye to cover or offer protection from the surrounding environment in ocular repair and reconstruction procedures.

These grafts are terminally sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6, and rigorously tested to meet or exceed current FDA, State, and American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) standards to ensure safety.
