7 REASONS Why these New Amniotic Membranes are ONLY for Optometrists
Say Goodbye to Hidden Amnion Graft Private Labeling Fees!
Have you ever wondered where your money is really going? Your current amnion supplier is likely charging you private labeling fees—costs that are added to the price of each membrane with no added value. Not with us! Instead we provide you with amnion membranes directly from the tissue bank, without the unnecessary markup. You pay only for the quality product itself, not for someone else’s branding. By choosing us, you cut costs and enhance the therapeutic options available to your patients.
What are Private labeling fees and why you should avoid them? It's an additional costs that vendors charge for branding a generic product with a specific company’s name and logo. These fees can significantly increase the overall price of the product. By avoiding private labeling, you can save on these extra costs, ensuring you get the same quality product at a lower price.
Attention Optometrists: Cut Out the Excess Costs of Amniotic Q-Codes!
No one likes to spend more money—neither you nor your patients. However, that's precisely what occurs when you purchase amniotic membranes from distributors that incur the extra cost of providing a Q-Code backed membrane. You’re likely paying extra for something unnecessary. It's time to regain control over your expenses by considering a company that focuses solely on serving Optometrists. Our cost-effective amniotic grafts delivery only what you need thereby enabling you to save while still delivering top-quality care to your patients.
What are Q-codes? Q-codes are temporary billing codes used for new or unique medical services and supplies that don’t yet have a permanent code. For established procedures like CPT 65778 (amniotic membrane placement without sutures), Q-codes may not be needed. Many amnion allograft vendor's that serve various medical specialties are taking on the business cost of adding q-codes to serve a wider audience. Not us, we cater only to Optometrists. This is because as an Optometrist, your amniotic treatments are non-surgical and patients can stay with you, the ocular specialists that they see the most, and trust the most.
Trusted Amniotic Membrane Grafts that meet Stringent Donor Screening Standards
When it comes to patient care, safety should never be compromised. While sifting through technical jargon about cytokines and growth factors may seem most important, of equal concern is the integrity of the source. Our membranes undergo strict donor screening and processing with a patented technique that preserves the healing properties. While others companies might engage in marketing hype touting unverifiable claims regarding specific levels of cytokines, growth factors, and viable cells, we focus on delivering what truly matters: patient safety and effectiveness.
These are the 3 main categories that ensure our membranes are safe and effective. 1) Donor Eligibility Assessment: Potential donors undergo a thorough medical and social history review to identify any risk factors or contraindications. 2) Screening and Testing: Donors are screened for infectious diseases and other health conditions. This includes serological and microbiological testing to ensure the tissue is free from contamination. 3) Regulatory Compliance: The selection process adheres to guidelines set by regulatory bodies such as the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

“Currently, it is conservatively estimated that 10–20% of the population over 40 years old have DED, and its prevalence is increasing. This rise is attributed to the aging global population and lifestyle factors such as contact lens wear and extensive digital device use among younger adults (Smith, 2023). References: Smith, J. (2023). Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Dry Eye Disease: Considerations for a Standardized Approach.
