Method for producing a plurality of implants from a previously removed human or animal cornea

A cutting process for producing a plurality of implants from a previously removed human or animal cornea, wherein the process comprises the following steps:

• depositing the cornea in a holding device including first and second plates transparent to a laser beam emitted by a laser source, the cornea being positioned between the first and second plates to apply mechanical stress to anterior and posterior faces of the cornea,
• cutting, using the laser beam, the cornea contained in the holding device to obtain a cut cornea, the cutting step comprising generating gas bubbles to form contours of the plurality of implants,
• detaching each implant from the cut cornea,
• decellularizing each detached implant to obtain decellularized implants,
• lyophilizing each decellularized implant to obtain lyophilized implants,
• sterilizing each lyophilized implant to obtain sterilized implants,
• packaging each sterilized implant to obtain packaged implants.
