Abstract

A surgical instrument (20) for manipulating and inserting into an eye a lamina of cells (7), such as a thin stroma support with Descemet membrane and endothelial cells for corneal transplants, or other types of laminas, comprises a hollow tubular body (1) able to contain the lamina of cells (7) immersed in a maintenance solution. The hollow tubular body (1) comprises a distal part (5), tapered and open at the end, and the section of the distal part (5) diminishes towards the end of the hollow tubular body (1) so that, during use, the lamina of cells (7), emerging from the distal part (5), is able to be configured tubularly, adapting to the section of the end of the distal part (5).
