Silicone Oil – 1000 cSt
Product Description:
Aurosil is a fractionated, purified, sterile and apyrogenic silicone oil designed for prolonged tamponade after surgical treatment for severe retinal detachment.
Product features:
- Greater stability
- Reduced emulsification due to a high degree of purification and low level of reactive –OH end groups
- Less tissue impregnation
- Low level of catalyst impurities minimize the risks of interactions with the ocular environment
- Subjected to all physical and chemical analysis (H-NMR spectral test, gel permeation chromatography study and gas chromatography) to ensure purity level
Properties:
- Viscosity (at 25°C) : 1000 cSt ± 50 cSt
- Refractive index (at 25°C) : 1.4013 – 1.4053
- Specific Gravity (at 30°C) : 0.9740 ± 0.001
- Average Molecular Weight (daltons) : 44,000 ±1000
- Poly Dispersion Index : 2.5
- Toxic Residue : Nil
- Content of -OH-end groups : <70 ppm
Indications:
Retinal detachment with giant tear, retinal detachment with proliferative vitreo retinopathy (PVR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and traumatic retinal detachment.
Contraindication:
Pseudophakic patients with silicone intraocular lens (silicone oil can chemically interact and opacify silicone elastomers).
Supply:
Available in 10 ml vial in a sterile pouch.
