Coroners and Medical Examiners

Partners

Essential Partners in Donation.

At Advancing Sight Network, we recognize the critical role coroners and medical examiners play in the eye donation process. Their expertise and collaboration are vital in ensuring that corneal tissue is recovered promptly and respectfully, adhering to legal and ethical standards.

Collaborative Efforts.

Our partnership with coroners and medical examiners is built on mutual respect and shared objectives.

  • 1

    Timely Tissue Recovery

    We coordinate closely to ensure that corneal tissue is recovered within the optimal time frame, typically within 12 hours post-mortem, to maximize transplant success and to be respectful of the work coroners and medical examiners do.

  • 2

    Preservation of Evidence

    Understanding the importance of death investigations, we work diligently to preserve any potential evidence, ensuring that the recovery process does not interfere with ongoing investigations.

  • 3

    Respect for Legal Protocols

    We adhere to state laws and regulations governing tissue recovery, ensuring that all procedures are conducted legally and ethically.

Supporting Communities Through Shared Efforts.

We believe that corneal donation should not conflict with the important work medical examiners/coroners do as they serve the community. We do our work as quickly and efficiently as possible. Through our partnership with coroners and medical examiners, we provide corneal tissue that restores sight to individuals both locally and internationally.
