    摘要: The present invention refers to a device and a kit for the shipment and preservation of corneal lenticules ready for use in a lamellar keratoplasty surgery. The device (1) comprises a first open portion (2), apt to receive and contain the lenticule, and a fenestrated lid (10) to close said first portion. The device further comprises a second portion (3) of substantially tubular shape with a diameter lower than the diameter of the lenticule. The device may further comprise a third portion (7) apt to be reversibly connected to a grip means. The fenestrated lid and the front opening (5) allow preservation fluid to nourish the lenticule tissue during the preservation and/ or the shipment. The present invention also refers to a method for preserving, shipping and prearranging the lenticules so as to facilitate posterior lamellar keratoplasty surgery (or endokeratoplasty).
