Bankable assets
Article Abstract:
Some 2,500 patients a year, at least, in the UK receive corneal transplants. The Corneal Transplant Service (CTS) was launched in 1983 by the UK Transplant Support Service Authority (UKTSSA) and the Iris Fund for the Prevention of Blindness, cutting tissue wastage by enabling corneas to be transferred from hospital to hospital as needed. Bristol University and UKTSSA, with Iris Fund funding, set up the CTS Eye Bank in Bristol in 1986, enabling long-term planning of transplants. The bank stores corneas at 34 degrees centigrade in a tissue culture medium, rather than the 4 degrees centigrade traditional temperature of a refrigerator.
