The bioengineered porcine construct (BPCDX) is a clear implantable hydrogel, which is made from a dual photochemical and chemical crosslinking since pure collagen is a soft material that is readily broken. BPCDX has improved the prior porcine collagen-based materials, incorporating photochemical crosslinking utilizing UVA-riboflavin crosslinking technique. Using in vitro and in vivo experiments in mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits, the toxicity, biocompatibility, sensitization, carcinogenicity, and irritation of BPCDX were assessed.
Additionally, it went through a series of third-party verified medical device tests that adhered to ISO standards. Strict quality controls were followed during the production of BPCDX in a clean room with good manufacturing practices (GMP) certification. As opposed to previously published bioengineered pig collagen-based cornea and single-crosslinked BPC, BPCDX exhibits higher mechanical properties without sacrificing transparency and transmits visible light similar to the human cornea. Notably, the BPCDX has a far higher stiffness than a prior collagen-based biomaterial tested on people.
The National Commission for Prevention of Blindness in the United Arab Emirates has started putting the nation's "The Right to Sight" strategy into practice, which aims to cut the prevalence of blindness by half by 2020. The Committee, established in September 2006, took a nationwide survey to determine the frequency and causes of infectious eye illnesses like keratoconus and fuchs' dystrophy. The WHO's 2020 Global Initiative for Prevention of Blindness is the foundation for the UAE's Right to Sight plan. The VISION 2020 Global Initiative's goal is to prioritize public health by eradicating the primary causes of preventable and treatable blindness. Therefore, these factors growth opportunities for the corneal implants market in the region.
