Impact of corneal donor post‐mortem time on the rate of culture medium contaminations

Purpose In the majority of European countries there is a shortage of donor corneas for corneal transplantations. In 2007, the EU Directive 2006/17/EC on ‘technical requirements for the donation, procurement and testing of human tissues and cells’ was introduced restricting the usability of post‐mortem donor blood sampling from 72 hours to 24 hours. As a consequence, post‐mortem time for donor cornea acquisition was shortened, resulting in a further reduction of corneal allografts. This study analyzed the effect of donor cornea post mortem‐time on medium contamination in organ culture storage.
