Dispersive viscoelastics, based on hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and cohesive viscoelastics, based on sodium hyaluronate - in various concentrations.
Intraoperative Irrigation Solutions - for safe and complication-free eye surgery
Dispersive viscoelastics exhibit short molecular chains and a low molecular weight. They do not lose their viscosity under energy supply and provide excellent protection of the intraocular tissue during the entire eye procedure. In addition, they are also well suited for moistening instruments and implants.
Different dispersive viscoelastics are available with the following concentrations of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC):
Cohesive viscoelastics exhibit long molecular chains and a high molecular weight. They have pseudoplastic characteristics and can easily be removed after surgery. And the inherent space-maintaining properties of cohesive viscoelastics provide excellent intraocular conditions to perform an optimised capsulorhexis.
Various cohesive viscoelastics are available of different origins and with different concentrations of sodiumhyaluronate:
All 1st BSS liquids are electrolyte solutions, adapted to the physiological conditions of the human body. Due to an adequate concentration of ions and specific physiochemical properties, these liquids perfectly assume the function of the natural aqueous humour.
Suitable for irrigation and chamber maintenance during cataract surgery.
