What is halo sterile tissue?
Halo® sterile tissue represents a significant advancement in glaucoma and corneal surgery. Developed by VisionGift, these allografts are shelf-stable, room-temperature stored, and require no rinsing or rehydration, making them ideal for both emergency procedures and scheduled surgeries. Available in cornea, sclera, and pericardium, halo® tissue is available in whole and precut segments.
Why choose halo?
Crystal Clear Visibility Post-Op
Halo® sterile corneas maintain lasting clarity— unlike traditional opaque patches—enabling easier post-operative assessment and delivering a more natural cosmetic result.
Surgeon-Ready
Sterile, peel-packed tissues allow for convenient storage & easy handling in the operating room.
Long Shelf Life
Can be stored at room temperature without needing reconstitution, ensuring tissue availability for scheduled & emergent needs.
Sterile
Utilizes E-Beam Sterilization to achieve an industry-standard sterility assurance level of 10⁻⁶, reducing processing time and limiting environmental exposure during processing.
Variety
Available in cornea, sclera, and pericardium, with options for whole and pre-cut segments. Corneas are offered in both half and full thickness.
Ideal clinical use cases for halo sterile tissue
Glaucoma Surgery
- Tube/Shunt Coverage: Protects glaucoma drainage devices to reduce risk of erosion or exposure.
- Patch Grafts: Offers sterile, transparent protection for implanted hardware.
Corneal Surgery & Repair
- ALK/DALK
- Lamellar Patching
- Tectonic Corneal Grafting: Provides structural reinforcement in cases of corneal thinning, perforations, or melts.
- Temporary or Emergency Keratoplasty Substitute: When fresh tissue is not immediately available.
Scleral Reinforcement
- Used to reinforce areas of scleral thinning or defects due to disease or surgical complications.
Ocular Surface Disease Management
- Covers and protects compromised or inflamed areas in chronic ocular surface disease.
Trauma and Emergency Use
- Quickly available in trauma cases where immediate coverage or reinforcement is needed.
- Stored at room temperature and ready without rehydration, ideal for on-demand needs.
Tissue Preservation in High-Risk Eyes
- Provides a sterile barrier to reduce further damage in compromised eyes (e.g., after chemical burns, infection, or surgery).
