Study Description
Brief Summary
Purpose:
Investigate the safety of ABCcolla Collagen Ophthalmic Matrix used for anterior lamellar keratoplasty in patients suffering from fungal keratitis which cannot be treated with drugs.
Investigational medical device:
-
Product name: ABCcolla Collagen Ophthalmic Matrix
-
Manufacturer: ACRO Biomedical Co., Ltd.
-
Address of manufacturer: 3rd Floor, No.57, Luke 2nd Rd., Lujhu District, Kaohsiung City 82151, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

Indication: to replace human cornea in anterior lamellar keratoplasty
-
Classification: Class III
Study overview:
Each volunteer will be assigned a set of subject screening No. after signing the ICF. After review of basic information and medical and drug history, screening of inclusion and exclusion criteria and relevant assessment and record, the doctor will make the final decision of whether to enroll the subject. Enrolled subjects will be assigned a subject enrollment No. They will undergo keratoplasty using the investigational product and be followed up for observation.
